[quote=Anonymous]I have a degree in journalism but do not work in the field. Lots of great advice on this page, but I'll add this: don't confuse "journalism" and "communications" degrees. I've hired several people with communications degrees and their writing is atrocious and usually they lack critical thinking skills. They haven't picked up an AP Style Book. They don't know what a dateline is. They end sentences in prepositions. I have had much better experience hiring poli sci, history, and English majors. I rarely come across people with journalism degrees. I'm not sure why that is -- I work for a public affairs & communications shop. [/quote]
