A diploma or a certificate does not mean anything; it means zero, zilch.
They do not care where you went to school, how sexy and beautiful your
diploma looks, how much debt you are in or if you got great grades, they do
not. What they want to know is this: Who have you worked for, and can I
trust you? What you need to make in music, radio, or film are connections.
You need to know 150 people, period, 150 influential people. You can start
small, but you start small. You start with 5, and you build it to 10, and
then those 10 know 5 people, and then you build it to 15 and 20. You keep
them all in your iPhone, Blackberry, or whatever you are using.
You build and you build and you make connections. You go to their parties,
functions, and charities. You are smart about it and you work hard. That's
how you build a career in music, radio, and film.
