text: how to choose a profession? i'm almost finishing school and still hesitating. i don't know what profession to choose - something with journalism (because i love to write) or something i'd be surely paid for (business, management etc..). do exactly what you want to do. try to do what you are interested in. you could go for a job with a sure paycheck but will you be happy in that job? if not then i suggest you follow your dreams. you will have to work very hard to gain a job in journalism but its a sure paycheck once you get into the business. good luck.
