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 advice would you give to an economics & politics graduate who wants to get into journalism? ?
I have a bachelor's degree in political science and international relations, and am studying for a master's in economics. I haven't studied journalism other than 2 courses in my bachelor's though I've done some volunteer work in media. I'm a good writer and communicator and I think I have a good skill set and range of experiences that would make me a good journalist, but I'm afraid that because I don't have formal training in it, I won't be able to do it. I don't have a particular preference for online, print, radio or television journalism at this point, though I'd probably feel more comfortable with (written) online and print at first. I live in Berlin, Germany and would like to stay here for the medium-term, but would be willing to move elsewhere for journalistic work. Thank you!
