Bill is spot-on with this.  Unless you've already been on the air
for several years, you have no idea what you will settle into and
enjoy doing.  Too many people are trying to start at the top (in all
of life) these days, and they have no idea what they missed learning
about on the way.  Throw up a chunk of wire and see what happens.
You need to learn how to fail before you can recognize when you've
succeeded.  That takes years.
