You need to work for the college paper and try and get references maybe a mass communications teacher who can get you a good internship somewhere, you need experience writing for a paper becuase you might be a good writer, but you learn so many things you would have never known. Work on your grammar and networking, also work on reporting, going up to people for interviews is a big part of the job...you will need to be clearly spoken and take charge of the situation, you cannot be shy.

A good journalism job, one making over $40,000 a year, depends on talent and connections. Of course, starting out, you'll make in the mid $20,000, and if you are good at your job and have connections you could move upward. If you are so so writer, you'll be stuck at a low pay in some small town. To start out, submit essays to your hometown weekly newspaper. Then ask if you could cover an event. If they like your writing and like you as a person, they might let you cover your first story. Another route, of course, is college. Nothing for sure, however, with a college degree unless you have experience.
