If your kid wants to start a life in outdoor media and is planning to go to college, then I would strongly suggest looking at the University of Montevallo! They have the only 4 year degree program in the United States that is specifically geared towards setting students up for a career in the outdoors! Check out this podcast and the links if you are interested!
