A degree demonstrates that you have obtained particular skills in research, analysis and critical thinking. Journalism degrees tend to add communication to that mix. So really any jobs that require those skills are open to you. I know journalism graduates who've decided they wanted to be - and become - teachers, lecturers, PR and marketing professionals, police officers, and politicians.

I wouldn't suggest it as a hard and fast rule - perhaps a better phrasing would be to avoid having an opinion which is ill informed. Do your research.

I came upon this blog for advice on how to start blogging and though this is not the intent it has been truly helpful. I do not know what my main interest for blogging will be yet, but more so than ever was it great advice to 'not' have an opinion. If you have any advice for me please let me know, i need to start somewhere, then i feel I will be halfway there!
