No, no it didn't. I have a crappy job that I'm stuck with because the economy basically screwed me over.

I have a degree but have a job that has nothing to with my degree so that isn't necessarily true.
It doesn't matter what your degree is, the economy now is so bad that people with undergrad degrees are fighting to the death over McDonald's jobs. Employers can be demanding and choosy now, because the pool of applicants for every job is so deep.
It shouldn't be that way, but it is. A degree makes you employable the way a high school diploma did 10 years ago. I'd never counsel someone not to get a degree... My advice would be not to wuss out halfway- go to grad school. That's how you get jobs in the field you want to work in now.
*edit* there you go- an English major ba is good for what? There are other fields of journalism besides print media though, you know.

Don't waste your $$. That'll last 5 minutes - tops.
Although, it would be funny to see if "EAlixpynys" gets through.

Shit! A Masters in English isn't worth a whole helluva lot more these days either. You pretty much need a PhD in English if you wanna hold down any kind of full time position.

You mean you guys don't want to spend another 2000 MSP on NFS Most Wanted DLC that should only be 800 at the max? EA's the best! ![:rofl:](https://xboxamerica.com/imgs/smilies/old-squares/rofl.gif)

LOL! Well my EA Blowz Peen lasted a long time. EA sux cack wouldnt be a permanent. Way I see it... Im paying for a funny tag and a second try at a gamertag for when they make me change it ![:laugh:](https://xboxamerica.com/imgs/smilies/old-squares/laugh.gif)

I have a Bachelors Degree in English and a minor in journalism, which isn't all that bad. I was aiming to become a journalist and/or work for the news station but in my last semester, newspaper print took a major hit and it was too late for me to go back and start all over.
You should try and get into radio. Lots of people who do journalism write for radio or even end up being on-air personalities. Doesnt hurt to try. You could also do law enforcement... they dont care what your degree is in.. just the fact you have one will make among the top prospects.

You should be careful with forced name changes. I've heard from pretty reputable sources that you get a minimum of 3 before you can be console banned and/or your account can be permanently banned. I've known people who have had 25+ and I've heard from someone they got console banned after 5.
M$ is starting to take violations of the ToS very seriously. Just a heads up.

How do you feel about sports?? That is one area of journalism (or any field) that grows consistently year after year. Although, you could start out covering high school sports if you aren't lucky. ![:confused:](https://xboxamerica.com/imgs/smilies/old-squares/confused.gif)

That's the truth. My cousin has a masters in English and she bounced from crappy job to crappy job until she ended up being a personal trainer and professional body builder.
I feel like college advisors should warn about this shit, though. Liberal arts degrees have been essentially useless since I was in high school, saw Up Close and Personal and wanted to major in journalism/ mass communication. My counselor laughed my ass out of her office.
