Because I am sick of people asking....

What are you going to school for?
People moan and groan bout my decision to go (I know, everyone elses parental units and siblings encourage college, but my background is very different in that area).
They live within the firm belief that I am simply going to school to skip out on a 40 hour a week job.
Little do they realize, that I have to eventually leave school and try to plan ahead further than that.

Anyways. To start..im very facinated in journalism. In fact, so much I  would love at this point to land a job writing for a living, Ive always had a connection with people and believe that media culture and proper advertising is a key to changing the world in a positive way.

With that said, a job in writing would be perfect. Its not the most practical choice seeing as its not incredibly easy to just land a random job as a writer, but ive many other media related options as well.

Social media manager would be another example of a great job to land, also known as a creative manager. On salaries.com creative managers can make about 75 grand a year.

With that said, ive also heavily considered advertising as an solid career, and would love to land a job with a company doing something along that line. Anything to stretch my  creative flow.

I am looking into getting into WSUV's CMDC (Creative Media and Digital Culture) program. Its a technological point of view on many of those things ive already discussed.


Here is an example of the program offered at wsuv.

So there, in case you wanted to know why I am wasting my life and will be paying off student loans for a wee bit of a while after I graduate in about 4 years...this is the future plan for me :)
