What kind of writing do you do?

It differs from province to province. As far as I know, Alberta has the lowest minimum wage in Canada despite it being the wealthiest (read: oil and gas money) province.

Thanks for your comment. A lot of my peers went into communications, but I am doing fairly well in journalism considering the state of the industry and it's my true passion. So I'm hoping to give it another shot before I settle for a communications gig.

Thanks for your answer. Is the jury still out then on whether employers are more interested in more work experience versus more education?

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I'm a semi-recent grad (three years out with an honours degree). I have done at least five internships, both paid and unpaid, at prestigious companies since I graduated. However, I have yet to have any luck getting a permanent full-time gig.

Now I'm toying with whether or not to go back to school and get a masters degree, or keep trying to get a permanent job?

I'm a journalist and there are very few jobs available in my line of work at the moment, but I think that's also pretty much the case in most industries right now, right?

So my questions are: -How likely is it for the industry to turn around in the next couple of years? -Is it worthwhile to leave the workforce to get more education while waiting for the industry to turn around?
