Journalism is a bad career choice

Pros

Plethora of markets for advancement.

Cons

The wage disparity is atrocious. Quantity of content is valued over quality. Industry as a whole relies on cheaper unskilled labor. High healthcare benefit rates. Disconnect among industry goals and actions. Low job security. Low pay.

Pros

Look, if you get the right shifts, you can glide through and get a steady paycheck. Is the pay good? No. But it’s a job that pays more than most broadcasting jobs. Not enough to live in Charlotte though.

Cons

Low pay, terrible management, high turnover.

Pros

It pays the bills I guess

Cons

The toxic work environments, layoffs, removal of diversity programs, and reliance with AI in journalism is enough to you to avoid this company
