Question:

JRN or Law? Or MBA?

0 LIKES UnLike

So, I've been a newspaper reporter, editor; magazine reporter and editor, and new media editor. I'd like to teach...but can't without at least a master's degree.

However, my peers all say that a journalism master's is about as worthless as used toilet paper...I've even had two journalism school deans tell me I have too much experience to get a JRN master's...

But then, if I want to teach journalism (part-time, don't want to give up the day job), what should I get?

Thinking of a law degree...but seems a waste not to use it after...

Or an MBA...but it seems like very yahoo school is giving those out...Billy Bob's MBA College and Rib Schack...

Advice?

  1. I can not see why a dean of a school of journalism would say you are over qualified for a JRN what the h**l-o get it and then the next level

    .. . ..

    That is like saying Einstein is to smart to teach Physics in college

    .. . .

    Experience is the best teacher and you have a PHD in that already from what you tell in the first line

    .. . ..

    Why not try and be an adviser  in college of journalism

    .. . ..

    Get your foot in the front door and the dean will ask you to give a lecture or two I bet

    . .. .

    As far as increasing the framed certificates hanging on your wall do as the man says

    Sit down and take that piece of toilet paper and look at it closely

    .. . ..

    Only the part of your choses Law JRN  and MBA

    .. . ..

    Put those three in a hat and pick one out to attack

    .. . .

    Good luck

  2. What about a master's in education? It would diversify your academic portfolio and allow you to teach journalism at the secondary and post-secondary levels.

    Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I majored in journalism, my instructor for Beginning Reporting had just such an arrangement. she taught in the public high school and had one night course at the college.
