60. Susan: Most journalist do not make much money. So why do they choose this career?
Because they can’t do anything else. Those who can, do; those who can’t, talk. (Something like that!)

Related toughts: next to demise: TV news. Their priorities are wrong. Instead of paying reporters to gather news, they pay multi-millions to nice looking brainless Barbies and Kens to read the same news from a centralized source, such as AP; and they parrot the same opinions from their favourite politicians. The product differentiation is on the packaging. Once you get over the packaging, there is nothing there.
