If you can't answer this question....
So still trying to figure things out. I know quitting was the right decision now. I feel really relived, but it’s just that next step that I’m still bothering me. This might have been easier if a reprehensive from the career center hadn’t come in to my literature class to discuss how to prepare for the job market. While he had good insight and tips, his approach left me squirming in my seat. He started off by writing Ohio’s current unemployment rate on the white board. Then to further depress me he talked about important questions prospective employers will ask you. The most important one being: why did you choose this career field? He said if you couldn’t answer that question you might as well go home. Needless to say this didn’t help me. While I know I originally chose to become a journalist because I enjoy writing and learning new things, I not sure if I can handle the stress of the occupation. So while I have come to term about resigning the news editor position, I still don’t if news is what I want to do anymore.

I've had two internships with a major news station in Miami, Florida and I know exactly how you feel about how much stress the occupation entails!!! Seems like the speaker was a bit intimidating if you ask me. Keep in there!
ReplyDeleteYou should try just being a writer for the paper if just to see if you still enjoy writing. At least then you'll know if you could do it for a living.
