I got a degree in a field I wanted to work in. My BA is in Communications/Journalism. I spent 4 years in Television news as a photojournalist. It was fun...mostly. Then the economy and business went to shit. People, not me luckily, got laid off. We took pay cuts...from an already shitty salary. Started becoming a "run and gun" shop. Story telling took a back seat to bullshit coverage.

So I got out. Took a government job. While not nearly as intersting as news, the work is a billion times easier. And pays better. jacko Oh yeah, it's Gov't work.
