Should I major in TV Production, Journalism, or Broadcast Journalism?
-
I'm currently a sophomore in High School and ever since middle school I've wanted to go into one of those fields. My life goal has always been to write a best-selling novel series after I graduate High School, attend a university in California (USC has always been my dream college), and turn it into a TV show, similar to Gossip Girl, The OC, Dawson's Creek, ect. But then I've always wanted to be an anchorwomen because I'm good at public speaking, but I don't know. I'm also interested in regular journalism because I love to write and many people have told me I'm a good writer. I don't know which one to choose, if I could triple major in all of them I would. The thing is, I heard being a film major is really competitive, journalism is dying, and broadcast journalism is competitive as well? Those are seriously the only things I'm interested, so my question is... which major would I have a better chance at getting a high-paying job and being successful?

Answer:
None of the above. Journalism is dying. There are no jobs. Broadcast is in decline. Only women with perky boobs get jobs as anchors, and they don't last long (the job or the boobs). ADDED Jupi writes: "Journalism isn't dying." Someone who actually knows what they're talking about writes: “'I'm telling my students to find a new profession,'” says journalism Professor Tony Chan of the University of Washington at Seattle."

How rude of PE 2008. Sexist. Journalism isn't dying. The importance of the major is just changing. People are majoring or in journalism or double majoring in it with something else to enter a graduate program such as med school, law school, mba, etc. Print Media and Newspapers are bound to go out of style, but however it is going online. Jobs will be available now through online newspapers such as a local news and huffington post. I would however not touch Film or anything with "Studies" at the end of it.
