I wish they would too. It'd certainly be interesting reading what goes in to other careers and what not.
Personally, I'd say the one for journalism would probably look a lot like the chef one. Many of the same beats would be hit there too:
1. You've (sometimes) got an expensive degree that costs more than you'll likely take home in wages. Though (presumably) like with a chef, it's technically a field you can do well in without a degree if your experience stacks up.
2. The internships and work experience you take on cost a fortune, since they're low/non paying positions in expensive locations, which likely work better for those with a trust fund or a decent amount of financial support from a partner or parent.
3. If you're not passionate about it, find something else because it's basically financial suicide.
4. Yet again, there's some skill/advantage you should have to do well. Not age/fitness, but influence/existing audience.
5. There's a decent amount of pressure too, with minimal benefits, low pay, awkward working hours, etc.
You could probably paraphrase the article and make it about the media industry without changing more than a paragraph or two. Same goes with game development, though that'd require a few more changes.
But yeah, it would be interesting to see articles like this for other industries.
