Would it be better for me to major in Journalism or Mass Communications?
I am asking this question because ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to be a magazine editor; however, lately i have been thinking about pursuing a career in broadcast journalism. Also many people who do end up majoring in Journalism have difficulties finding a job, so would majoring in Mass Communications be a better option since it covers media from many different outlets? #journalism #editing #editor #journalist #magazine #reporter

What type of degree is recommended for a career in sports broadcasting
I see a lot of ex-athletes in sports broadcasting. Do they all have college degrees? Some of them have degrees because they talk about them. But after speaking to my parents, it's possible many went to college but didn't finish. So do you really need a degree or do you just need to be one of the elite athletes of the world? #sports #journalism #sports-management #broadcast-journalism

A.A in Journalism, B.A in Comm?
Hello, I am currently completing my general education classes in city college and I was planning to take additional classes to complete the Communications program as well, however, I've always had an interest for writing. My ultimate career goal is to work in editing. I have done my research and know that I can get the job I want with a Comm degree but would it be wise to get my A.A with transfer on journalism? Will it be worth it? Is there anything I would have to keep in mind since it is going to take more time to transfer if I take the additional courses for this program? I am just looking for guidance/orientation on this. Thank you! #journalism #communications

Is it appropriate to network online?
I want to work in the field of journalism and the coolest thing about this industry is that it's already accessible to me. It's so easy to find writers that I admire and follow them on social media. Often I have questions about the websites they write for or I'm just interested in things they write about. I know that making connections is key in this field, so my question would be is it okay to take advantage of how close I am to writers because of technology? Is networking or asking questions online a smart move or is it just annoying? #journalism #writing #networking #social-media #media
Is it a good idea to get a journalism degree if you're not so sure you want to be a journalist?
My college has a great journalism major, but I'm not sure yet if I want to stick with journalism as my career path. I know I want to do something writing-related, but that could include newspapers, magazines, scripts, blogging, publishing, editing, even copyediting is something I'm interested in. My school also offers a major in literary studies with a concentration in writing, and from there I can focus on poetry, non-fiction, or fiction. I could do non-fiction and have a much broader major but I'm worried that this major will emphasize the "literary" aspect and not so much the "writing" since it's just a concentration. So is it common for people with journalism degrees to have writing jobs that aren't in journalism? Would a degree in literary studies look okay on a resume for a writing intensive job that has nothing to do with literature? #journalism #writing #writer
How do you navigate a broad career field?
I want to go into the field of Journalism. I love writing, reading, social media, news, etc. The issue is that there's so many different mediums you can pursue and because I'm so curious and multi-interested, I want to dabble in many things. My question would be is it smarter and more stable to go small and pick a specific subject or is it okay be broad and change what you're interested in? #journalism #writing #media

I have lots of questions about a career in editing
Throughout my high school career, I've worked as editor of our school's annual literary arts magazine, and I absolutely love it, and it has influenced my desire to pursue editing as a career. I'm looking into editing more broadly in a book editing sense, or in a magazine sense, but I would only really be interested in art type magazines, most likely. I'm just worried that I will pursue this career and then get out of school not knowing where to go or what to do with my degree, and I feel like with an English degree, I wouldn't have much to fall back on. I'm going to a small state school in Pennsylvania, and know that jobs would not necessarily be available after school there. What locations are best suited for this type of occupation? I also don't necessarily want to sacrifice a life and a family for my career. Is this the type of career I would have to do that with? #journalism #english #editing #editor

Is journalism a dying breed?
I am a high school freshman and have always loved writing. I am currently involved with a journalism class in my high school where we produce on eight page newspaper every month. Starting in September 2016, I will be the new page editor for our Features page. My lust towards writing and journalism has grown vastly ever since I enrolled in this class and I know this is what I want to study in college and ultimately what I want to do with my life. My parents, on the other hand, are extremely skeptical about me wanting to pursue journalism in college. They believe that there is no money, let alone jobs available for aspiring journalists. They suggest that I go into a more practical field involving writing such as advertising or public relations. So... Is it true that if I study journalism in college there may not be a job for me after graduation? #journalism #advertising #author #writer #public-relations #youtube #online-journalism

Why is journalism important?
Ever since I was in the 6th grade ive wanted to become a Journalist. I have a strong passion for informing, researching and helping the commuity as best as I can. But, I have also realized that there is barely a demand for journalists. And anytime I express to anyone that this is my future they point out the idea that " there's no money in that ya' know?" . I believe that there will always be a need for informtion. I just want to get a better undestanding beyond informing. #journalism #communications #broadcast-journalism #online-journalism #science-journalism #mass-communications
How difficult is it to transfer from a university in one state to a university in another?
After receiving my Bachelor's in Journalism in Florida, I want to start my career while working towards my Master's in New York and plan on transferring to Columbia.
