Gloom and doom, just in time for the holidays

Newspaper Reporter

Read it and weep: According to the BLS, a whopping 4,400 jobs will disappear by 2018 (out of 69,400 total in 2008). That's more than three times the number of newsroom employees at The New York Times. The bad news for print can be summed up in one word: Internet. "Some of the print people are finding jobs online," says Lauren Csorny, an economist at the BLS. "But there aren't enough to make up for the losses." No wonder that newspaper reporters ranked No. 184 out of 200 jobs, one slot above stevedore, in CareerCast.com's annual JobsRated survey.

High paying jobs with no future? They got it half right.

I hate look into the future stories like this because we really don't know where technology will be five years from now.

Of course, loading up your chain with back crushing debt might not have helped either...
