Nah bro, I think you’ll be fine…Im a hs senior, but i plan on double majoring in mass comm (advertising track) and journalism or maybe photography, but anyway “print journalism” is dying, but that just means that journalism is becoming more modern. Instead of a pencil and paper think laptop and keyboard, you get my drift? There will always be journalism because there will always be news to share, so don’t worry about journalism dying, the more technology and communication advances, the more journalism and news sharing will advance. And besides if you ever feel like your journalism career isn’t taking off, you could always do other things. For example, every business needs someone who can write and advertising agencies, public relation firms etc, all need someone with good writing abilities and a knack for getting information.

my mom is a sociology major making 60,000 grand a year and my step father makes 80,000 a year and he has a masters in sports medicine, don’t let people tell you that your major is useless, cause it’s really not. My father tells me that in the end it’s all about who you know, so major in journalism (im assuming your pretty outgoing), network, network, network and go to a bigger city if that’s optional lol. I live in Tampa ( like Americas fourth biggest media market), but my dream job is to work at MTV or Nintendo advertising/marketing departments lol (but thats in cali lol)
