[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Journalists have all kinds of degrees. Look at various people's educational backgrounds on magazines and newspapers...it's all over the place. Lots of English and Comparative lit, various social sciences, the occasional hard science or econ major, etc. I think if that's what she really wants to do, getting internship experience and writing for her college's paper (especially if it is a highly regarded college paper) to make connections is going to be more important than what her degree is in.[/quote] Former journalist here (20 years): Major in something else. You need something to write about. Journalism is a trade, not a profession.[/quote] +1. And I'm a current journalist (23 years). Communications is bullshit and if she ends up doing something else -- very likely -- it's a waste. [/quote]
