Although class today was awesome and very informative, it was slightly disheartening as well. Brother Cressman said that we probably wouldn't have a whole carreer in television journalism and that the journalism business was changing rapidly. I think that it's great that we have this information, but it is slightly stressful as I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life! I wish I had a crystal ball and could look into it and figure out what the future has in store for me. In my head I know how I want it to go, but there are just so many things that could happen. I want a stable carreer first and foremost. I think the most terrible situation would be struggling to live paycheck to paycheck. I need stability first.
My dream job with broadcasting would be to work for the Yankees Entertainment Sports network in New York. I would love reporting on games and following the Yankees as a job! With the changes in journalism though anything could happen. I'm glad that we discussed this matter in class today though because I feel more prepared for the future. I really just hope that things work out and I end up finding a job that I really love. I hope I'm not being too ideal about my dreams and goals because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Journalism is changing quickly and there are no longer any absolutes in regards to journalism. I just hope that I can keep up with all the changes and be prepared for what happens next!

Alison things haven't changed much I had the same concerns when I was at BYU. Furthermore it's not just journalism that is going through some uncertainty. I think you would find the same thing in most major. However there is alway a good career for smart people that can think and work hard. Also by getting your education along with the job experience you have you will be in high demand. Keep working hard and doing well in school and you will be fine!
