Your a lawyer right scientist. It's almost impossible to become one without schooling. I'm majoring in education and I can't get a teaching job without a degree. It's just not possible. Would I have learned a lot more just shadowing a teacher or two for 2 years? probably, but you don't get a degree that way and without a degree you won't get a job.

I'm not sure I agree wholeheartedly with your rant.
I regret spending 2 years and $25K going to computer school, but I will admit I learned more and understand the shit better than I would if I had just bought a bunch of tech books and tried to teach myself. The same is true today for journalism.
There really is value in, if nothing else, having an experienced instructor to answer your questions and guide you through the minefield of learning something new.2012: +19.33

You don't know what you want to do... that is part of my point. A couple of weeks ago you wanted to be in the FBI and were thinking about law school. So you go to college, you pick from the list of 30 majors and you're off to make a living... you (not you specifically, the general "you"- college kids) think, well this seems like a stable career, summers off, low stress, union... I will be a teacher, it doesn't sound totally shitty. Then you get out of school, realize that there all the possible ways to make money in the world do not revolve around your college major, you realize that no matter how awesome a teacher you are, you are never ever going to own the school or make any money and there might be something else out there... but now its too late, it is hard to give up that steady paycheck and now you have a family that relies on your income, so you stay there... you become the fat history teacher that peers down the tops of sophmores, you chill with all the teachers in the teacher's lounge and bitch about whatever... but hey, you didn't know what else to do, and teaching seems ok...

My point is that if you knew you wanted to be a journalist, you could spend those 4 years working for a publication. Experienced people would answer your questions for free, and you would actually get paid to learn the job... you will learn more, you will get actual usable experience, you will make important business contacts, AND you will get paid (not pay them).
This apprenticeship-type experience you're suggesting sounds good, but unless you're a blacksmith, I don't think a lot of people do that anymore.I heart cockComment
