Job/college question?

Question

So I decided, that I, almost for sure, want to be part of the hustle and bustle world, and maybe work for a big corporation. But a good one, like an organic food corporation, or for a magazine..like maybe National Geographic or Elle or People. And I know that those are big dreams, but I was wondering what would I have to go to college for to land a job like that? Like maybe do something with pictures, or editing, or something like that. Thanks!

Answer 1

I say go for a Journalism major. If you would like a spot in magazines, being able to write well across all fields is essential. Journalism itself is exciting, and there are tons more you could explore within that subject, including advertising, TV broadcasting etc.

Answer 2

Well, there are lots of careers out there that would help you on your quest. Depending on what you want to do for magazine work, you could consider a degree in journalism, photojournalism, advertising, photography, broadcast, accounting, law, marketing, etc. If you wanted the degree that would set you appart from the rest of the candidates for a job, you should have some beckground or a good degree in one or more of these areas. Some will also hire you if you speak a second language, so maybe consider taking courses in this area as well.
