anyone a photojournalist/photographer ?

It can be a fun career. I'd recommend taking mass communication with an emphasis on print/photography, since that will help you make contacts and scrounge up internships during the summer months.

If you don;t already have a decent array of camera gear, now would be the time to start acquiring a decent SLR or DSLR (Canon and Nikon are good bets, simply because most pros shoot with one or the other, as opposed to say, Pentax, Minolta or Olympus a good durable gadget bag, like Domke, will allow you to store an assortment of lenses (at a minimum, wide angle, standard 59-mm, 135 and long telephoto, with the fastest lenses you can afford.

the bag will allow you to carry the lenses, a stout bounce flash like the Vivitar 285, a bounce card and batteries. Take it from someone who has been there: Thetre's nothing worse than having the money shot in your sights, and then have the camera's electronics go dark on you.

As far as doing interviews: If you can remember to get the basic "who, what, when, where, why and how how that should give the full-time writers enough togo on.

Don't be too discouraged if it's not all glamorous assignments. For every cool assignment, someone will want you to drag out to the sticks because someone just grew a potato that looks like John McCain.

Good luck. Hope this helps.
