Ask Metafilter, a site where users can ask questions to be answered by the hivemind, has a great discussion around graduating as a Journalist in today’s world.

I’m a 25 year old journalism major riddled with major debt who has two years of school to go. How should I go about handling my debt situation and finishing school with the ultimate goal of becoming a successful print journalist? Furthermore, am I a fool to enter this field considering my rather unpleasant financial picture? Life advice, please.
