					<description>Hi I was wondering how Cari Turner interned as an English teacher in Turkey. I would like to obtain more information on how I could possibly do the same. Thanks!</description>

					<description>"Doom-filled predictions about newspapers have given the whole industry a bad case of jitters about the future.", is so true and majoring in journalism doesn't seem to be the greatest economic decision.

However, there are economic success stories for journalism majors: our 8 person "virtual" company operates like a factory converting PDF files of the print edition to HTML websites for community newspapers, mostly weeklies (over 100 now). We hired a journalism major that was working in retail probably because of the lack of jobs in his field in the rural area he lives in.

He initially was on the front line clicking away to define story headlines, bylines, pictures, captions, etc - real factory work.

His willingness to dig into how our system works so he could provide more value, his high availability (that our customers demand), etc. lead him to the VP of Operations job in less than 9 months and an 150% increase in pay.

He's now writing process and user manuals when he isn't managing customer support and production workers. Maybe not what he was thinking of when he graduated but at his pay level he isn't complaining plus he is in "new media"!</description>
