Journalism? Yes or no? What is another great job?

Question

ok so im only going into 9th grade and i have a pretty good idea of what i want to be...a journalist! now when i told my parents that they said its a good job but!!!!!!!!... it is very hard to get a job in journalism, my first question is, is that true? and my second question is what could be a good backup job?

Answer 1

A journalist can be a very influential person in this world we find ourselves in these days. Mainly, some journalists do a pretty good job of being fair and impartial yet others tend to help spread propaganda with false reporting and interpretation of news matter. I hope you follow the lead of many famous journalist and help spread the word just the way is should be seen instead of concentrating on negativity and spreading lies and deceit. I hope you become a good one. Good luck.

Answer 2

sure, can be hard. You could start you're own media company and report what you want then, like the Truth.

writer or editor as secondary career.

Answer 3

A good back up would be absorb the world like a sponge, remain NEUTRAL and un bias in EVERYTHING IN LIFE and I do mean EVERYTHING as much as possible and use that to become a WRITER/NOVELIST keep the "WINDOWS of your mind OPEN to the WORLD for it you need it to give you inspiration and subjects to write about. The BEST back up Job is to become undoubtly a writer/novelist,sure it can take up 5+ years(a real PAIN to get published submitting/editing/resubmitting manuscripts) to write a novel but will be well worth it  once it's finally published !

Good Luck and ALL THE BEST :)

Go for it, see the world !

P.S. Looking forward to seeing,reading and enjoying all of your literary work ;)
