My biggest mistake till today Studying journalism: that's my biggest mistake ever. What I hate the most of this carrer is that it's not that hard, anybody can do it. Just give a person three lessons about this job and you can send them to write articles. In the school where I studied, prefessors were not good and the topics which make the plan weren't well planned. Everything was so shallow, you never profundize in the topics. I don't want to say more but I have some other reasons that explain why I hate jornalism. Fortunately, I studied (and still do) another carreer and I'm plenty satisfied with it. But that's the theme for another notebook entry :D Thank you!

My biggest mistake till today

Studying journalism: that's my biggest mistake ever. What I hate the most about this career is that it's not that hard, anybody can do it. Just give a person three lessons about this job and you can send them to write articles. In the school where I studied, professors were not good and the topics which make the plan weren't well planned. Everything was so shallow, you never get into the topics.

I don't want to say more but I have some other reasons that explain why I hate journalism. Fortunately, I studied (and still do) another career and I'm plenty satisfied with it. But that's the topic for another notebook entry.

Totally true: journalism is like carpentry or building, a trade. You won't learn those jobs in a school, you MUST be practicing them everyday in the workshop, or in the streets in the case of journalism. So, totally right: there's no point in studying that career. Besides, if you wanna be a photographer, for instance, you should choose something more artistic, like painting. Advertising? There's a career where you can get into that (at least in Mexico). I recommend you to really think about it.

I am so sad to hear that. Actually I was interested in journalism, but I see many people saying that there is no point in journalism schools. Is it true?
