After my months of part-time work and part-time pay, I took the plunge and became a big kid after all. I felt so fortunate to land a job in journalism...in such a coveted city. In college, I did not study broadcast journalism mainly because I don't like seeing myself on TV, and...furthermore, I've always wanted to write for a magazine. But, getting a job at a local news station helped me accomplish several of my short-term goals: gaining knowledge about current events -- whether local or national; building my resume and gathering copy editing experience; and, becoming financially independent from my parents.
I plan to expand upon this post, but one thing I must say is that journalism is probably one of the toughest fields to be in when financial independence is a personal priority.
More to come ...
