Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
There's not much for Journalism majors You won't make a lot of money
How I responded:
I'd recommend you figure out your goal and the path to getting there. What's your end goal? Is what you're doing today contributing to that goal? If you can't find a clear connection between what you're doing now and what you want to be doing, you may want to reconsider. Being a Journalism major landed me a radiointernship in the Promotions Department which helped me realize I love events and marketing! I had to be flexible in my internship but if I resisted, I wouldn't be here now.
