Take any job in your field. Experience is valuable and nothing is permanent so you can always change. And take every opportunity to have fun at work and in life!

Above all else, be ethical and fair in your reporting. Don't let anyone bully you into being anything but." (Including employers. Speaking from experience. The RIGHT boss will never ask you to compromise on that).

Zach Nugent

Don't be afraid --- ask the hard questions, try new approaches, take that first job in the middle-of-nowhere South Dakota. Life is an adventure and journalism is an ever-evolving part of it --- be flexible, have fun, stay true to your values, and don't be afraid.
