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.

How do I prepare for a start in Commercial Script Writing?
I am a Voiceover artist and an aspiring commercial script writer. I am preparing to finish an associate's degree in Marketing Management and later Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. Since I am close to finishing my associates I wonder what jobs/opportunities/freelance should I be doing now to prepare to find work as a commercial script writer. I am doing voiceover at the moment as well and I love analyzing commercial scripts and often wonder what other jobs could I look towards that align with voiceover and commercials? I know this wont be an easy niche to break into but even if I don't get a chance at being a commercial script writer I can take other avenues around the advertising/commercial field.
How can I get more motivation to finish the things I start?
I often start writing a lot of things. I have a lot of unfinished passion projects that I get others involved in, but then lose motivation for and start slacking off on. It always seems like an amazing Idea until I actually have to do something. I genuinely do't want to let the people I've gotten involved down and need ways to region motivation, and fast. Edit: The project I' working on is a small visual novel formatted series with small animations and cutscenes made by some people I have helping with the project. I write the script myself and make the episodes. The characters and stuff are all made and I have the times from the voice actors. The part I'm falling short with is the making of the actual episode.
