Well, eventually it will be I'm sure. I have about a half dozen or so colleges that are sending me out info packets in the mail in the next week or so...didn't you have to just write in the past? Now I need a certificate, undergraduate degree, or a graduate degree?

I tell you, man, journalism...it just ain't easy.

Actually it is pretty much with any profession you do anymore. My problem is I have worked in a office for the last 12 years I know how to do it but any place I apply for now wants a degree in certain areas........ So good luck but yeah it does suck that even if you know how to do something and at times better then those doing it you are still shot down for that degree they want.whoa

Why not? Why you wanted to get into journalism & why it's so hard to write on some of the things you are faced with. The society today, etc. What makes a good journalist. Let your mind go....glasses

Aren't you nervous about getting into journalism at this time, with all the newspapers going bankrupt?

I'm not discouraging you, I just really don't know what the job outlook is like in that profession.

I agree. If it is what you love, and you're good at it, you will be successful.

Same thing with art. So many educated talentless hacks in the art world while real artists stew in mediocrity.

A college education don't mean ship!
