[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another journalist here. (I haven't even read the entire thread but I'm sure there are at least half a dozen posts from us.)

It is low pay, long hours, holidays, weekends and the career involves dealing with negative and soul-crushing images and information while occasionally being verbally attacked by angry people who see you as some sort of enemy of democracy.

Yes, there are lots of regrets but I'm not even sure choosing journalism is the key regret. [b]I wish I would have been able to wiggle my way into one of the holy grail positions early enough.[/b] I didn't need a lot of money but it would have been nice not to have been taken advantage of for so long. It's one thing to work at a paper that slowly folds (unfortunately very common); it's another thing to work for media organizations that have money but know they can pay you less or rotate a handful of freelancers because there are a ton of people willing to take your spot.
