Can you make it without a BA and job experience in Broadcasting?

Regardless of how difficult it would be to bring into any specific field, it is clear that staying in these current conditions isn't an option. You have to start preparing a way out for yourself. It may not initially be exactly where you have dreamed of working, but there is always time to work towards those aspirations in the future. The primary focus at the moment should be to move yourself into an environment where you feel free to better yourself, both emotionally and economically.

On the topic of broadcasting specifically, I will not downplay the reality that it can be a brutal field to break into; however, there is no doubt that the vast majority of success in broadcasting and journalism comes from creating a solid resume of past work experience and working your way up to the positions you desire. Clearly, that is something you are capable of since you were already offered two positions in the past. I would focus on becoming financially independent in the quickest way possible, then begin looking for positions in that field once you are in a better position to do so.

 

I feel like I can't give you solid advice as i haven't been in a situation like yours. I simply cannot fathom your situation fully...

You've got a goal in mind, i guess you should now focus on the strategies... so like small things you can begin doing to build up to your big decision, to make you feel 'ready' to leave.

Im sorry I couldnt help more with the technical parts. quite frankly I have no clue about that industry

All the best,

You can definitely do it! It is a very competitive field and I unfortunately dont know the extent a BA will help, but you can definitely leave what sounds like a toxic environment and stand on your own. You have a lot of talents and I am sure that will help; you may have to take jobs that are different than what you want for awhile and live less comfortably than ideal I would think, but you are definitely able to move and Texas may be good because we have a lot of different cities with their own hubs of ~the arts~ growing and are.... more reasonable to afford living in than others. And if you have to stay with your parents for longer than planned, that still seems like it could make you happier than the current situation. I am pretty dumb and naive but you seem flexible, skilled, ambitiouis, and have family to help so if it makes you happy, go for it?!!?!

Good luck :> You can do it!
