I dropped out of journalism school. If the future of journalism is giggling girls in miniskirts asking "Does spelling count?", and a skinny male 'zine writer planning his (nationally syndicated, of course) manifestos to open the eyes of the "consumer cattle", then I'll have no part of it.
This may shock them, but I believe that a diverse populace communicating with itself daily, in thousands of languages and forms, through the Internet, newspapers, letters, television, astral travel, whatever, is smarter than an 18-year old kid from the suburbs of Southern Ontario. Crazy, I know. So journalism school was not for me.
Now I work in a field I'm completely unqualified for, make enough to get by, and post angry rants on the Internet. That zine kid is probably editing video for an investigative CBC report on hot tits ("Are Your Tits Hot Enough? No."). I still think the masses don't get enough credit. Then again, I also think I might make a living writing fiction someday, which tells you a lot about how astute I am.
I am moderately freckled. I read way, way, way too many comic books, and complain about them almost constantly.
I am slowly, and deftly, maneuvering myself into the forefront of e-learning and online education. I feel passionately that everyone should have the same access to a good education, regardless of personal situation, and I think if we eventually can rely on the system, we could triple the post-secondary grad stats, while saving money, and creating great jobs...
...but I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.
