Look. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to live.

People need to stop focusing on the black and white and become aware of the greyscale.



From personal experience, you can't get hired to a news paper or magazine unless you've been published. Yet going to college or university doesn't get you published, teaches you to write in a way editors don't like, and they make you arrogant.

I got a job at 16 by sending out letters, and after I'd learnt the editors style he was saying I was the best writer there and amazed at my age. Right now, if reviewing hadn't destroyed my love for video games and movies, I have little doubt I could have been at a news paper for two years, and I'm only twenty. Essentially I could have been working as a writer for the entire time I "should" have been in university learning "journalism".
