Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to be a journalist.
I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things.
After I left high school and got my GED, I studied broadcast journalism for a year at a community college.
I became a journalist because one didn't have to specialise.
I like to say that journalism is the graduate school from which you never graduate.
I graduated with an English degree and worked for awhile in academic publishing.
Well, I don't know how astute I am, but I did want to be a journalist when I was growing up.
I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.
And I wasn't a journalist any more than I was a trained nurse.
I studied journalism at The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. I did my graduate work at Emerson in Boston, and I was actually a reporter for a year in New York and New Jersey. It dawned on me that I wasn't cut out for that line of work. I mean... there's a certain thing that really good reports have that I just didn't.
