As far as asking a prof goes, I don’t see any problem with that. I asked a lot of professors about stuff over my junior high and high school years (although some of it probably was kinda weird in retrospect). So, if you really are interested in working at a university, I would say to go for it. Besides, colleges love to see that you are working at the college level.

Working at a newspaper is also great as well. My school has an internship requirement, and a bunch of my friends interned at newspapers and had a lot of fun (they also got into really good colleges). As for which one to choose, it all depends on what you are interested in.
