I just graduated from Kentucky with a degree in Journalism, but I don't really want to be in TV and/or radio. Initially I thought I did, but stayed the course because I was also ROTC, and commissioned into the reserves.

I was wondering what a good masters program would be to pursue to use with a JOU degree. I'm pretty open to move anywhere, and usually the OT has good advice on this kind of stuff.

Get into PR. Lots of money to be made in that field.

Seriously you can do whatever you want. I have the Sam from a lesser school and make half a mill a year at age 40.

Smoke it? Most college degrees are useless, that one seems to fit into this category.

You could go to law school and use your journalism degree to advertise on TV.

Law school is always an option. If you're interested in PR lots of people from my journalism masters program get really good jobs in that field, in particular with sports organizations
