It wasn’t until my senior year of high college that I seriously started considering the life of a news journalist someday.
- The people I was with and I had a college newspaper plus I was tasked with doing various of the stories that ended up inside.
While I entered the club with a sour attitude plus assumed I would dislike every hour of it, I left with a closer understanding of what I wanted to do in life. I also started to formulate a list of colleges I could apply to that cover this education program. The first college that I wanted to attend didn’t have a journalism program. Imagine finding a superb liberal arts college in the same county as your hometown, only to find out that they don’t even have a creative writing or journalism program. My only choice in that case would have been reading Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, or American Literature. That’s not exactly the most conductive education for someone seeking a staff writer position at a neighborhood newspaper. Unfortunately, I had to attend a substantial state college instead. On the other hand, their journalism college got myself and others a job right out of college. I worked my way through a series of positions until I went out on my own to create a small online news business that focuses on younger generations in this city, but i have a few employees in our offices downtown. Right now I need serious IT system repair because I don’t have a dedicated IT woman hired for continuous work. I also need to speak with someone about building system integration so I can control my Heating plus Air Conditioning, lights, plus security system all within the same interface.
