True that.

There's a lot of good advice on here, but I'll add a little bit of a different perspective. I graduated from college a couple years ago, worked at the student paper for 4 years, sports editor for 2 and had a good internship. I actually got a job in about two months, but it was for the podunk...

My career has been pretty good so far, but it was so short that maybe it shouldn't count. And maybe, I shouldn't be writing this. In five years of sports reporting, I've covered some big-time college sporting events and gotten a taste of some pro stuff as well. I've met people that the...

Going back to grad school isn't easy. Obviously Jim and Waylon had solid approaches and I also feel like I've planned well and made good decisions. But the bottom line is there are going to be risks involved. If it's not worth it to you it's not worth it. To me it was, mostly because I'm 23...

I'm beginning courses for my MBA in two weeks. I'm both excited and horrified. Luckily, I'll only add another 17K of tuition so long as everything goes as planned. I am hoping that in one year with a new job, I will make up that difference from the 20K I made this last year as a journalist. But...

Sorry If I struck a nerve, I'm just trying to shed some positive light amongst all this 'doom and gloom' bull**** that everybody else wants to write about all the time. OK? I am sorry if it didn't quite come off that way. I'm not saying it's not difficult, I know it's difficult. But you know...

I know it's pretty tough finding a job right now, but really, it's not as tough as everyone is making it sound. It's VERY tough in this industry, but I have a few friends that just graduated college who picked up great jobs within a couple weeks of classes being over. It's not impossible to find...

Ok, forgive me for being so cynical, but this whole B/R thing gets under my skin. Check my posts at the beginning of the thread if you want to see how I feel about this particular scenario. But really guys (and gals), B/R is a FAN SITE. It's not real journalism. Not in the slightest sense. It's...

Ditto.

So what gives? Is this the fire the 35K guy and replace him with someone to do the same work for 25K? Or is this a different operation? BWAHAHAHAH....25 K. Ya right. It's part time. More like 11 K if lucky.

Flint is cutting down its production; Bay City and Saginaw are so close together they should have basically one paper. Hate to say it, but if this is some form of what's going on in AA, it might be a good call.

Fair enough. And I sold myself short a while ago. I'm off to grad school in a month. Maybe my cynicism towards this profession is coming out on this board. If so, I'm sorry. This might make me a martyr on this site, but I've spent a lot of time lately trying to convince some old friends of...

Moddy, sounds like you're getting defensive. Don't. I wasn't trying to negate your opinion on the matter. Just trying to state mine. But did you actually take a further look, or are you basing all of this off the brief description posted atop? If you look into it, I think you'll see that they're...

...which means they'll be shuffling through applications from the millions of FANS who write on that site. I doubt many journalists do.

Well i guess it's a tag-team effort then. The link sends you to bleacher report. And candidates will partly be evaluated based on work submitted to BLEACHER REPORT.
