Maybe my great-aunt was onto something when she told me she would pay for me to go to college, live on campus, and give me an allowance so I didn't have to work, as long as I didn't major in Journalism....as a local government official for decades, she'd had unpleasant experiences with journalists. At the time, I was disappointed, because Journalism was EXACTLY what I wanted to major in (I ended up majoring in Political Science instead, and writing for the school paper on the side).
It seems journalism is becoming a more dangerous profession. Looking back, maybe she had some kind of power of seeing the future, and was protecting me
