My specialization is Broadcast Journalism. I have a decent portfolio, and I am continuing my education (as second Bachelor's degree in Pre-Law).

On the lines of going to a good school, I went to a fine school. Winthrop University is recognized throughout the Southeast as an excellent school with excellent standards. I went to a school I loved, not to one I felt that Donald Trump or Bill Gates would approve of. I was 18 and did not know what I wanted to do until my senior year. By senior year, that's a little too late to be changing majors unless you want to be an undergrad for 10 years.

I also do not expect to earn the salary of a CEO. I don't have a problem with starting at the bottom and earning my way up the ladder. Honestly, I would much rather do that so I would feel like I really did earn my spot in the position and the company. I would not mind earning in the dreaded $20,000 range. I would at least be able to make the ends meet. At the rate I am going, I'll be in the poor house next month if I don't find something very soon. I am very much a realist when it comes to what to expect in salaries and schools.

I also realize college does not train students in practical skills rather they train in theories and ideas. Heck, I could have gone to Harvard and still not have been trained in practical skills. It's pretty much the same across the board when it comes to 4-year colleges and universities.
