Condidering a possible master’s degree online?
Saturday, August 4th, 2007alaena39 asked:
I graduated in the summer of last year with a degree in International Relations. After graduating, I realized my real passion is writing and I began looking for jobs in that field. The problem is of course, employers were looking for either a degree in Journalism or several years of experience- neither of which I have. I searched for entry jobs for a while but to no avail. My questions are the following. 1) Is it worth going back to get my master’s degree or should I continue looking for entry jobs? 2) Does anyone know of any legitimate universities that I can get an online degree in Journalism? (My boyfriend is in the army and I’m constantly moving around, so an in-person degree is out of the question) 3) More or less, how much money is this going to cost? I’d like to have an idea of what I’m getting into.
