  1. Hi Dave and Terry,

    I struggled with the old “no experience no job/no job no experience” paradox for 2 years after finishing my bachelor’s degree, though I haven’t always known that PR was the path I would follow. So I’m another voice to back up Megan’s. That said, I agree that 9 months at a job would probably teach me most of what I learned in school.

    Some of the things that I might not have been exposed to the ideas of where PR comes from, and where it’s going (like the social media frontier).

    I actually began my undergrad in engineering at McMaster before transferring to a B.Sc. program in my third year. I’d be curious to hear your story, Terry, about how you got on the PR trail. I’m sure you’re tired of answering this question by now.

  2. Terry is absolutely right about e.g. and i.e. No Roman would say “in exemplo” or “in exemplum” in the way that we use “i.e.”

    With regard to retooling the show: you guys could take a short break. Wiggly Wigglers is taking month-long holiday between its first 121 episodes and its next 121 episodes. I’d miss you, but it would give you time to brainstorm and test out some new ideas.
