I'm done with classes and I'm packing up and heading to Carlsbad this evening.
I had my first real job interview as a reporter for the school newspaper today. I can't say why, but after the interview, I'm not terribly optimistic about getting the position. I'm already a senior so I'll only be there a semester and I don't have much published. I put together a portfolio and brought it with me, but nobody asked to see it so I never opened it. I'll know early next week if I'm hired.
If I don't get the position, I don't think there's much hope of being hired as a reporter in the real world. But it's too early to be discouraged and I'm sure someone will pay me money to do something eventually.
