And where have you been? Journalist make like $25K. We be BALLIN!

My major in undergrad is Religious Studies (emphasis in Islam). I am really leaning toward a masters in poli sci, esp since I have heard from other people too that going to grad school for journalism is a waste of time. PhDgirl: yea I checked USNews, that's how I figured out the ranking for the uni in Colorado that I'm looking at. I didn't know it also ranks individual programs at a given school...I'll have to check that out iA

Thanks for the tips and advice everyone, I really appreciate it (given out too much rep in the last 24 hrs)
