i'm freaking out bc apparently my intended major is the most regretted, least lucrative, and practically on the brink of extinction.

okay that sounds overdramatic but i'm a senior in high school and care a lot about having some form of stability in the future. and i'm choosing to do journalism bc i'm not good/passionate abt anything else but unfortunatley we don't live in the 19th-20th century when journalism was at its apex. every article i read, every video i watch, every post i see all say something along the lines of "journalism is at the brink of extinction", "only do it if you don't care about money", "it's unstable" etc etc etc.

anyway, my point is that since i'm not in university yet, i have NO idea how the journalism program is like in UH and the only thing i know about it is an article from the daily cougar titled "Staff Editorial: UH journalism program in desperate need of repair".

so hopeful and inspiring and makes me so excited!!! yay!!

if anyone has ANY mere clue, even the slightest idea about how the journalism program is in terms of students, staff, faculty, academics, literally anything -- i'd really appreiciate it. i just want to know beforehand what i'm getting myself into.

thanks
