Here at ASU, I am pursuing a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications, so I think it's safe to say I am set on becoming a journalist. But, the exciting thing about this career is that there are handfuls of different, specific occupations within this field that I can get involved in! Between print, broadcast, sports and Pr, whatever your interests are, there's a route for you.
Narrowing down the options can be frustrating and confusing when you are just starting out in college, but it takes time to really figure out what path you want to go down. For me, the road ahead is still a little uneasy because it looks like I am searching for a job that is one in million. Something in print, something behind the scenes, something with a little investigating work to be done and I hope to become someone who really delivers the truth to people, no matter the risks or circumstances that might follow me.
The thought of becoming more of an independent journalist is what really excites me; having the freedom to write what I want, open up with honestly about what's going on worldwide and really travel around with intentions of exposing truth and delivering accurate information. Alongside this, I will begin pursuing my minor in Criminology and Criminal Justice next year, where I will be able to explore the world of law and the art of investigating and criminology and tie it into my writing career in the future.
