What majors should I look at for magazine editing?!


Question: What majors should I look at for magazine editing!?
I've been doing some research on possible careers, and I just happened to view magazine editing!. What other classes/majors besides journalism in high school/college could help lead me to being an editor!? Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I would look into marketing, business management, and any course
that can help develop social skills, such as analysis, teaching, counseling, etc!.

And while financial management skills are certainly important,
time and space management skills are far more valuable,
in the long run!.

For example, a compulsive hoarder, who is always on the go,
has little recourse, let alone resource, to worry about money!.

Have you considered being a freelance writer, rather than an editor!?

Most mag publishers have a panel of "experts" who make mincemeat
of the authors' works!. This is not a reputation I would wish on anyone!.
It's bad enough, that if you're a writer, the editors will horribly deface your original work, no matter how perfect or accurate it may be, originally!.

So back to the original question:
I think a wide variety of social studies courses, like philosophy, sociology, psychology, etc, can bolster your insight,
and make you a better editor, if that's what you really want!.


But first, I would talk with a career counselor, before I steered my
curricula into a frozen rut!.

I am too old for it all!. But you are young, and at a crossroads,
where you must choose your rut, and choose it carefully!.

I hope my answer wasn't too vague, and my light humor
didn't throw you off!. Life without levity is heavy - and yes, I do realize the gravity of that statement!. But in order to define poor, we must define good, and good is subjective at best, at times!.

Any type of writing courses, advanced english, journalism, publishing, work with your school/local newspaper (most accept many interns), yearbook editing!. Good luck to you! :-)Www@Enter-QA@Com
