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

Starting in high school, what is the first or the most important step in becoming a writer/author?
I am a junior at Boston Collegiate Charter School (BCCS) in Boston, MA. I have a passion for writing and have written short stories and poems effortlessly since the sixth grade. I have seen my writing skills grow tremendously over my years at BCCS. Since freshman year, in addition to writing short stories, I have been relentlessly crafting the outline for a full length dramatic novel with just a hint of dark humor, and have begun planning out a science-fiction tragedy where I hope to cross over into controversial territory. I know that I want a major in college and a career after that incorporating writing. I prefer creative writing that gives the reader and the writer access to other genres. I am wondering if writer's have to be restricted to one genre. Also, I am curious to know the level of difficulty in becoming a successful author. #journalism #author #writer #journalist #novels #genre

However, I do also loveee mysteries/crime solving. For right now, I just want want to learn how or if it’s possible to combine two of my interests(writing and mystery/crime or design and mystery/crime) together as a career.
