Photography & journalism?

Question

what kind of professional course should i look for ....now that i've completed a four year degree in computers and work in IT industry for a year...(A case of poor career planning..)

Answer 1

Hyper competitive to land a high paying journalism job. It's even more competitive to land a photojournalism job. Contrary to what people think, it's NOT all about who you know. That's true for some, but talent will take you far in the profession. If you are a snazzy writer or have a sharp eye for pictures, you could land a job and move up to the big time depending on your talent. Now for the classes, you should try university journalism/photography courses. The best journalism schools are Columbia U., Northwestern U., and U of Missouri. If those aren't near you, try local colleges. Don't go to those pseudo tech schools, because those schools are not respected in the journalism field.
