I am going into my second year of university. Ever since I was young I have always wanted to be successful, and I have always been very ambitious. I have always wanted to have a job that I enjoys and pays very well. I want to have a high flying career and lifestyle, and I want to travel to many places in the world.
However, I cannot seem to pinpoint what exactly I want to do in terms of a career.
Possible career paths:
Public Relations
Journalism
Media planning/advertising
Political/social/media commentator
Social research
Law
I have done some work experience in journalism and in law. I have been considering a career in PR for a long time, but I cannot do a full-time unpaid internship.
I have a lot of experience in journalism and in blogging. I have been writing since I was 17, and I have my own blog and portfolio, and I have completed short-term work experience placements in the past. I love writing and blogging. I am passionate about writing and I enjoy it. Writing/blogging has always been a hobby of mine.
Now I have been thinking about sacrificing my dream of working in PR and going to work in journalism and the media instead, seeing as I have so much experience in it, but I am worried that being a journalist may not pay so well.
I want a job that pays well, and I want a job lined up for me that pays after I graduate.
So what do I do?
