I've been called brave for becoming a journalist because of the current job situation.
But is it really?
With technology constantly evolving and changing the world around us, the newspaper industry isn't the only thing declining. Take a look at CD sales or book publishing companies. Many places are singing the same song.
So, am I brave for entering a declining field?
No. We all are brave for entering an eternally shifting job sphere. There will never come a time when people don't need stories, music or the news, so in reality I will never be out of a job. Rather, as the job sphere changes, so will I.
Changing and adapting to what is new in order to become what the world needs is going to get me a job after my journalism program at U of T.
So, am I brave?
No... just adventurous.
