A very interesting view. I never this before. The opposite.
In the old days, 1960's, a young kid who started with a ham license as a young teenager, could have a great summer job in Broadcasting at 18, if you got your first phone. Again, a union shop in a major market. I have also heard that some broadcasters would not hire hams as they liked to take things apart. Over the last 40 years I have had the opportunity to hire many engineers doing LMR, common carrier MW, cellular, etc. The hams always hit the floor running and never looked back. Hams made my work life much easier.
