How will I be able to secure a career with a journalism degree that will support me financially and make me happy? #Fall25
I hear that journalism majors don’t have a lot of job opportunities and I want to major in journalism because it relates to my passion for writing. I am passionate about writing because I love the creativity of writing and the freedom of expression it gives. I want to know that my major will help me get a job that relates to my passion and will help me be financially stable. I know that journalism isn’t a strong career path and I plan to possibly minor in communications to add to my journalism degree because of the networking and career opportunities.

What's a good major to pursue if you have an AA degree in Health Sciences General Studies and you enjoy subjects involving English/Writing?
By 18, if I work hard enough, I should have an AA degree in Health Sciences General Studies, though now I'm wondering if I still want to pursue a career focused entirely on health. I've always struggled with math, which as I've found is quite involved in this field, making me reconsider my decision to pursue a health-focused career. Now, I'm focusing on my interests in writing, English, debating, and things of that nature. I'm now wondering if there is a major that could lead to a career involving both my health skills and my current interests. #general #health #professionals #english #writing #creativewriting #linguistics #journalism #debating #communications #opentoideas #career #healthcareer #liberalarts #professors
How hard is it *really* to publish a book?
While I want to be a copyeditor as my *day* job, I've written several novels I would love to publish sometime down the road (after much revision...). Every time I speak about this with someone, though, their immediate answer seems to be, "Ha! Good luck." My questions is... is it really that hard? Is it really such a terrible idea to try to publish a book? I understand there are a lot of things involved like promoting it on social media and possibly doing meet-and-greets, but what exactly is required that would make it so difficult? #book #novel #writer #publish #creativewriting
