in fairness, I was thinking more Sheffield.

Ah r8.

Think Sheffield is the most southern of uni's i applied for, and it's still northern as fook tbf:smug:

Google maps tells me i can get from my house to the uni in 3 hours, i estimate 2 since i'm a terribly reckless driver:smugrvp:

bein sport but its not live



it is. Companies/Organizations still need Communications Directors and PR people. Journalists fit in very well with that.

Like, journalism majors straight out of college or do these jobs require a grad level degree in journalism.

One of my brehettes went straight out of undergrad into a PR position shooting her 45 racks a year with a journalism degree.

Bachelors Degrees.


DO NOT waste your time with getting a masters in journalism. Complete waste of time. Also, if you are doing work in PR or Communications, your experience and contacts will be the greatest tool for you.

Sounds like i need to be heading off to america for a job.

Imagine how they'd appreciate my actual english, english skillz

 

[Liu Kang]

Good question. I just know i want to be involved in the reporting of sport.

I'm going in as a blank slate with mad raw skillz otherwise. I figure i start envisioning my specific career path as i cultivate my propa skillz.

Something online though probably, bytches love online.:smug: (as does the future etc)[...]

My advice would be for you to create a blog to show your skills.
This is a simple way to practice and this could be your portfolio when time will be due. When you'll apply for a job for example, this will be a great asset to present to any recruter. There are some jobs where actual skills are better than theorical knowledge and I think reporting is one of them.

I mean there are many blogs from people that comment on their passions, that are well-written and insightful, yet who don't have any diploma in journalism. Plus, it seems that you like writing because if I remember right, it was you that wrote the piece about Fifa 13 for the coli main page and it was kinda good (well, maybe too much digression but seems to be the "spice" in your writing).

If you can focus on the sports subject while showing objectivity and providing articles regularly, this may lead you to have some kind of notoriety and kickstart a career . Unfortunately, it seems that blogs may soon be outta fashion (too many, change of media etc.) but it could at least help you train your skills.

This guy:

has a job working for major newspapers in your country and his qualification was lying about watching Arsenal youth team matches. You are a much better writer than that guy is, so I think you will be fine in the UK. John Cross and Darren Lewis have a national column in your country, ffs.

Just make sure you can operate as a one man army. Ballin photos, gangsta in photoshop, creating your own layouts, and a beast on the body. Her career is basically doing all the same shyt she did for yearbook in highschool.

not a coincidence. is she hawt?

Yep.

Her boss is a raging homosexual, though.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

I still say the OFT mafia is really wasting something but not having our own blog. There's too much talent here brehs.

I did at one point consider that.

I think I've told the story of the former co-worker whose girlfriend I convinced to fukk my brehette in my bathroom while I watched. He looked like this dude.
