I am 25 years old with a B.A. in English and an M.A. in journalism. The journalism field appears to be in crisis mode before I can even enter the work force. Should I stick it out to fulfill my first love of writing? I been looking to go into Technical writing, grant-writing, copy writing, or change career tracks from writing to computer programming. Is that option feasible at this point? Thanks!

It's never too late to pursue anything your heart desires.

Ink and paper journalism is dead, but I think if you write well you shouldn't have a lot of trouble getting a job writing for a website. Programming is a hell of a lot of work, excuse my language, so you better believe this will be a brutal change of pace if you still want to go through with it.

hi there technical writing is not in the crisis for m\now..the technical field is always on the high so try applying to journals like, digit , pcexpress etc if u r good in computer and so on..so writing is a good field to survive ..my best wishes..
