| Where to study broadcasting journalism
Our daughter wants to study broadcasting journalism in college. First we didn’t support that idea at all because of job insecurity, low salary, difficulty to find a job and so on. We tried to change her mind to something related to math or science since our degrees in those areas and she is really good in math, but it’s “too boring and not exciting” for her. She gets up at 6 am to be at school studio for her broadcasting class, drives after school to local TV studio for her unpaid internship and stays late evenings at school writing articles for school newspaper, so we gave up; maybe it’s really her fate… She is a junior now, and it’s time to select colleges to which she will apply next year. It’s turned out that none of our UC have such major, only two of them (UCB and Irvine (?)) have Journalism, the rest of them have just “Communication”. There are two private – USC and Chapman with such major, and some others that located outside of CA, so it will be the same cost for us. I’m wondering does it really matter to study BJ major for BA degree or to complete BA in Communication and look for a job in that area. Does it worth to pay $50K for such major?... |
