Work at the Today Show?

Question

It is my dream to be a anchor on the Today Show. I am currently 15. What should I do to start preparing? What would look good on my resume? How do I apply or get a interview for the job? Anything helps!

Answer 1

You start with a degree in journalism.

Then you get a job as a reporter for a small to mid market TV station. If you start in a big city, senior reporters will get all the good stories.

With a little luck (when preparation meets opportunity) you will move up to a network job.

Then it really does become a question of luck.

Along the way, you may find the The Today Show job is not that great. Yes they make a lot of money and they meet a lot of celebrities but it's not easy getting up at three each morning and being "happy and chipper" everyday from 7 till 10.

Answer 2

Journalism degree...
