Is this a "calling" for you?

"Hi, it's journalism... Rent, don't buy..."

 

"Hi, it's journalism. I won't be calling you anymore..."

 

"Hi, it's journalism... What do you mean you don't remember me?"

 

SD: "Hi, it's slow death. Is journalism home?"
J: "Speaking."
SD: "Shithead, whuz up?"
J: "F U, Kyle. ... Seriously, what are we doing tonight?"

 

OK, so here's the natural follow-up question:

Was Kane wrong to sell it to students that way?

 

I used to think it was a calling. But its not a dream of mine to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of my life. So fuck that.

 

It has to be. I sure as hell don't want to do it for the money.

 

Yeah, why would I want to work in a profession where I can own a house and support a family? Things like rent and food are so out of place. How about you (big media companies) pay me what I'm worth?

 

Unavailable for comment.

 

It's a calling for me, only because it's one of the only jobs I could have while avoiding a mid-life crisis for hating my job so much.

 

A calling. I didn't choose it, it chose me.

 

"Hi, it's journalism..."

"Do you want job security?"

"Do you want an annual pay raise?"

"Do you want to see your family on most holidays?"

"Do you want to be able to eat dinner with your family without being paranoid every time your Blackberry beeps?"

"Do you want to have a boss who won't force you to work when you're on vacation?"

"Yes, to all of the above..."

Dial tone...
