The reason why I asked is because there is a guy that went to my high school who is like three or four years younger than me who is a weathercaster for Channel 8 in Tulsa. He is seriously like 21 years old, and does the weather on the weekends. From what I've heard from mutual friends is that he had worked part-time there from when he got out of high school and it evolved into a full-time on-air gig.
I guess what I am trying to say is that regardless of your degree, there are jobs out there and it (like always) is a matter of who you know. Best of luck.

Actually, I was an anchor/reporter for the station I worked for. Unfortunately, it's not what I'd consider a "real" job. It was the school's station and only broadcast (via Cox cable) to the city of Edmond. It was good experience and that's about it. I don't know of any other school (at least in the state) where I'd get as much opportunity to anchor, report, etc..
One of our recent alums (class of '00) is a weekend anchor in Fayetville, Arkansas. In his opinion I'd do fine in that business.
For right now though I'm crossing my fingers that a law school will overlook my so-so grades for my campus involvement
(I've been told that's a pretty major factor when they consider folks these days).
It's confusing as all hell when you graduate and could literally head in ANY direction.. Kind of waiting to see how things pan out at this point.
