well, from my experience and learning from other's experiences, i wont disagree with the rest. I too am a qualified journalist but currently work in marketing and event co-ordinating.

i never dreamed that after college i'd ever be anything but a journalist, but here i am and i'm loving it!

i think that because i studied a field so broad, it opened up many doors for me, as i am now able to work in PR, Marketing, Advertising, Communications and the media...all this completely unbeknown to me when i first decided to study journalism.

Healer's cousin has degrees coming out her ears. She's a qualified Chemical Engineer and Lawyer.

i guess what i'm trying to say is, study as much as you can. dont close yourself up to only one thing because at this stage you think its what you truly have a passion for.

i say go for it! study sociology! study brew making! study whatever and however long you want even after you get your job. all that matters really is that you wind up in a place that you feel happy, fulfilled and successful in.
