Keith,
I wish I could recommend broadcast engineering but I can no longer look someone in the eye and say there is a real future here. I have a BS as a EET from Bradley but have been working in TV since I joined the TV club in high school. I had to engineer shows during a teacher's strike at my school to keep classes going. I have never crossed a picket line again. I am grandfathered in as a First Class Radiotelephone, now a General Class license. I was a certified Broadcast Engineer with the SBE but recently dropped membership. I am self taught in acoustics and audio control room design, and a graduate of SynAudCon audio seminar series.
While I sometimes am assigned to music shows and audio production, I am also involved with system engineering, equipment install and repair. While I might be fixing a mic one day, the very next I might be on the roof inside a satellite dish or up on Sears Tower working on our transmitter. Most young people do not want to go near something that has 35 kV@2amps power supplies, can make 20+ kW of RF or gets struck by lightning several times a year. This job has been very good to me and I have never regretted a day. On the other hand, most people would shy away if you tell them that occasionally I will start my day at 5 AM and still be on the clock, the next day at 2 PM. Starting at 7 AM and still working at 1 AM (and scheduled to start the next day at 6 AM) is not uncommon during a show day or commercial shoot.
BTW, Someone sent this to me a few weeks back. I hope you all like it...
