What really scares me is that I don't know how to do it. How do you become a journalist? Do you just simply go to a newspaper and ask for a job and hope you get recognized? Or do you have to be born in the right country and in the right city and in the right family? Whatever the answer is, I'm determined to become one.
For a few years now i have been planning on being a journalist for a very well-known magazine like say... The Rolling Stone or Spin or maybe even New York Times. I've decided that I want to have a fun job that makes less money over a horrid job that makes more money, and that's exactly what it seems journalism is going to be like. It may a very well-paying job or I may get stuck in a rut at a local newspaper for the rest of my life and not accomplishing any real good story -- but it'd still be a fun job. Actually, that's untrue; if I am going to be a journalist, I'm not going to waste my time with small local stories my entire life, but that would be a good start. Which brings me to my next point; how are we supposed to know what we want at such a young age?
People don't know what they actually want until it's given to them, that's why movies that are predictible that an audience "should love" fail horribly at the box office (and since when does a movie have to do great at the box office in order to be good?). ANYWAY, like I was saying, we had to do career choice presentations all the way back in grade 7 -- we were 12! How many 12-year-olds know what they want to do for the rest of their lives? The Canadian school system is failing (they even took out a year of high school and expected us to learn 5 years of work in 4), how is that teaching us anything? It's teaching us that the world revolves around money, and true... that is the sad reality of our world, but then they turn around and say "why are so many students not passing high school anymore?". I wonder (stupid shit heads).
At the age of 16, students in Canada are expected to start choosing high school courses that will change and ultimately establish their future. But if you're just as lost as I am, how are you supposed to know which courses to take? Uhhh... a journalism course? (for me, it's quite obvious) And lets see... English?(oh wait, we have to take that anyways!) I don't know where to turn, the Guidance Office doesn't do shit: "Okay, well lets have a peek at your marks. Well, nothing under 80, this is a good start" (uhm, do you think?!?! I could have established that for myself. Thanks for wasting my time, bitch).
I am fed up with the way adults treat us like babies and expect to act like adults. Wow, that was a load of shit I just fed to you. I can't believe people actually read this crap and agree with it. I mean I just wasted your time ranting on about the curriculum and futures and everything else that's wrong with our modern society. Damn, I need to read a book. I think I'll go listen to "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" from 1971.
