I hear you on the journalism thing; it really is an industry in which one has to pay his or her dues for quite a while, and luck has a good deal to do with any career advancement.
I decided that at least for now, it wasn't the career path I wanted. I had quite a bit of experience too; I've won several national and regional awards for journalism and have a good portfolio of clips. On top of that, I have a former writer at Sports Illustrated and a former NY Times reporter who have said they would be references for me. Even with that, I found the job market completely unappealing.
One thing to consider though - even if you work in the non-profit sector, you can see about freelancing articles for local papers. That way you can still write and build up a portfolio if you want to go back to reporting.
