Something that has been concerning me lately as I have attempted to find a job post graduation is the issue of convergence. Less people are being employed by newspapers and having to do more work to make up for the loss of coworkers. If people who are already established in the industry are being laid off because there aren’t enough jobs for them, what hope is there for a recent college graduate? While everyone surrounding me tells me how this should be such an exciting time for me, all I can think about is how hopeless I feel about finding a job. I feel as if the last four years of my life I have spent studying journalism might be wasted because who knows when I will be able to find a job that I can use it.

Fingers crossed I can find something in the next few months…
