Hmmm.....

The state of Journalism plagues me. With the whole business about wanting to be employed in the future, 420,000 unemployed in counting, does little to fuel the fire of hope. What to do?

I think my best bet would be to do as much as I can within my means (don't steal my idea, promise?). What I mean by this is, freelance? Sure if I get into any kind of health problems I'm pretty well screwed, but it will still be working in the field that I love and if I can some how find a way to branch out in to other mediums of journalism I might just have chance at working in the field I desire. I'm confident I can do this much, but I have a definitive flaw.

I not good at saying no when it comes to this type of thing. I want to experience as much as I can to the detriment of everything else I need to do. Ergo, school suffers, relationships suffer; is this what is called a work-a-holic (even though the imposed suffix -a-holic lacks proper grammar as the only holic is an alcoholic).

I suppose so, but I have a lot to learn and a lot of drive to earn practical experience. Too bad it's misappropriated zeal.
