:D The reason journalists have low pay is the same reason you find ridiculously beautiful and over-qualified people running coffee at TV stations -- so many people want to work in the industry that employers have their pick. My friend "W" is a PhD and former model. She tried for two years to get any job at all at Univision in Miami. She gave up and got a crap job at a newspaper in Colorado. Another friend "J" is a fiber optic technician who's constantly bothering his cousin to get him an assistant gaffer job on local a game show.
