Question

What are some positions a degree in journalism can land you?

Answer 1

I worked on a tech magazine for a time. It was a life changing experience for me, an engineer. A sales career can also be enhanced by J.

Right now I am working in collaboration with my daughter on how to improve the management function in a big way. The book is unfolding very well. It's a lot of fun, but it takes concentration to get it right.

Answer 2

Solid writing skills are in demand more-and-more these days.  You could find yourself working for an ad agency, communications company, publishing house, etc.  The list is sweeping and diverse.

I just finished my MFA in a writing program out in the Northwest.  So far just as "side work" I've gotten eight magazine articles published in the last four months.  Pay has ranged from $0.20 a word to a flat $1.00 a word!  Nice little revenue stream to add on to my existing salary.

Good luck!

Answer 3

In addition to the obvious, any position where writing is part and parcel of the responsibilities is a good possibility. These could include marketing communications, newsletters, web site development, etc. Also, with the prevalence of software solutions for businesses, technical writers are always in high demand. So, adding a couple of computer courses could help greatly in your ability to get a job.
