Journalism majors who can’t put what they actually mean on paper?
Ain't that the truth. When I was a newspaper editor, I never hired a single journalism major.
I knew a girl who majored in physics, minored in math, and went to grad school in meteorology, doing atmospheric modeling, chaos theory, etc. She decided she didn't want to do research, and then decided she wanted something even more fast-paced than science writing, so she applied to be a newspaper editor. They were skeptical about hiring someone with her background, and she had to convince them to give her a shot as a copy editor.
Within only a few years, she was editor in chief of one of their chain's papers.
