We live in a world where competition is unavoidable. Whichever career option you choose, you have to fight to be the best of the best. The best chef, the best lawyer, the best engineer, the best teacher. It's all about your resume, experiences, portfolio; everything that 'you' bring to the table. Journalism is no exception in this rule. Yes, it may be true that Journalism is a really hard career to get into, but honestly is it an easy job? No, I don't think so, the idea of Journalism in itself is competitive. In order to be a good Journalist you do have to be the best of the best. The jobs are out there and if you're good at what you do; love it, enjoy it, fight for it, fight for it, fight for it, you will be just fine. Journalism is far from dead.
