health help: Which career sounds more impressive? - Help.com

Journalism gets my vote.

Whichever one appeals to you the most. Journalism, however, will pay the least.

Journalism will pay less than nursing? Many journalists write novels that end up making loads.

I would go with the one that you want as a career to pay the bills, then I would learn the one you want as a hobby. You could do it on the side and see if you can do something else down the road. Do what makes you happy!

You don’t need a degree in journalism to write a novel . . . look at the late Dr. Michael Crichton, who was a medical doctor!

But jobs such as newspaper reporter or electronic journalist just don’t pay that much, until and if you make it to the big time.

I know one thing . . . nurses can get a job–pronto–wherever they go!
