print journalism

i'd give anything to live in new york and be able to intern at my favorite magazine. unfortunately money controls my every move and i must stay in california and hone my skills by working on the vista. how nice would it be, though, to just up and quit college and get an entry level job at a paper or magazine and work my way up to a position in which i make a salary to live off of? i'm too scared to quit college though, as expensive as it costs to remain at usd. what if i were to ruin my future by not finishing school? sometimes i think it's too hard, but then i get a flash of intelligence and realize that it will all be worth it and i will be able to get much farther in the world of journalism with a degree from a good university. in the meantime, i'll begin designing my own magazine so i can work for myself and have the best life ever writing and organizing layouts as i please.
