    This is why I am honest with kids when I do career days at the middle or high schools. They get all glossy-eyed that I work in the sports journalism field. I remember those days well, deciding in sixth grade that I wanted to be a Red Sox or Bruins beat writer. I get to go to games for free and talk to the players ... Oh boy.
    Now I tell them what every morally upstanding journalism professor in college should. DO NOT MAJOR IN JOURNALISM!
    If you think you want to do this for a career, take courses as electives and work on the student paper, but major in another field. You will expand your horizons and have a good backup. I am kicking myself now for not going through my teaching degree in early childhood ed. Or history.
    And if you do major in Journalism, do a double major in something else. Journalism degree by itself is the most worthless piece of paper you'll ever use. Worth much less than the piece of toilet paper last used to wipe your ass.
