Oh how right you are....in my current job, I am being paid the same as peeps who never went to school for journalism...just learned on the job (actually...they are "training" me...hahaha....so they think
It's sad that I struggle to pay my utilities and car payment each month. I don't even have any rent to pay and yet I still struggle. And I haven't even started paying back my $40,000 in student loans....and yet I still struggle.
The future looks VERY grim for me financially, but I suppose it's the price I chose to pay just to be able to do what I enjoy.
