Who plans to go to college to become either a TV journalist or a famous pop singer?:b
Everybody has dreams and ambitions. You don't need to go to college to be a pop singer. That dream should be trashed. Not too realistic. If you're truly talented, you'd know by 19 years of age! As far as TV jounalist goes, that too is a bit immature. I could see going to college to study communications, graduating and entering jounalism at an entry level position. These two career goals seem to bring to mind someone that simply wants attention and wants to be heard. This person working at Dunkin' Donuts has many years to go in becoming mature. People mature at different rates. College just educates you to enter a field - entry level. You can't go to college to become something as soon as you finish. You don't graduate and enter the world as a TV jounalist. That sort of thinking is very childlike.
No. Not everybody who is in music or journalism ever plans to make it their sole option or just for the attention and money, at least only if one is sane. I guess I shouldn't have said "sane" maybe that was a little too mean?
People like Dan Rather are successful because they had the maturity and talent with working their way up.
