I just wonder if everyone normally loves you and your name is Raymona. Because everybody love Raymona." But seriously, print is a lost art. You might be better off with a blog then trying to get a job at a newsroom. In fact i don't know how many of you actually get the regular paper of the New York times, but i have seen the size of the paper decrease nearly 50% over the past 5 years. I don't know for sure that journalism is dead, but i know it's not paying many people. I don't many things are paying people for their value. I would almost not recommend school with the way the economy is. Maybe a nice career training center unfortunately.

Well looks like someone never watches ESPN

I hate to tell you but any degree in journalism is widely considered to be useless. Don't take my word for it though. Google "useless degrees" and see for yourself. Journalism is typically up there with Latin. You might want to think about another major if you ever hope to pay back those loans (if you have them).

Prove him wrong!

You deserve it for thinking that a diploma in "Sports Journalism" is a degree. Just them calling non-academic garbage like this a degree does not make it a degree. It is a diploma of higher education, called a degree so you will pay more for it. You are being conned.

Hate to say it but he's right...the only successful women "sports journalists" which is not even a real profession, are the hot ones that work at ESPN...and the only reason they are working there is because they're hot...

Change your major while you have a chance. I got my journalism degree 4 years ago and still haven't found work in that field. Too many papers are closing or cutting back, so the job market is flooded with people who have years of experience, clips and contacts. Who's going to hire someone straight out of school when they can have their pick of seasoned pros? Your prof was an ass for bringing up gender but, unfortunately, being female isn't going to help either. If you're still dead set on being a journalist, your best bets are to hone your computer skills and start blogging yesterday.

You can do it!!!!!

That's bull, there is plenty of women in sports journalism that are doing better than many men. Don't let them limit your dreams, you can make it.

They're not unheard of but not common. I mean you are one out of many guys
