Will there be any options after I graduate? I am a Journalism major and a Criminology minor. I speak English, Korean, and Japanese fluently.
Answer
And the answer isâ¦.What do you want to do?
I know- contrary to popular belief that question is not as easy as when we were young. I'm pretty sure my career aspiration as a young girl was to be the next 007. I was convinced I would make an awesome super-spy. Gee- I miss those years.
Although funny enough- I am preparing for OCS with the army & will be in Intel. Not quite a spy- far from it- but far from being coincidence.
You should have a basic idea of what you can do as you were the one who got ur education (hopefully u discussed this w ur advisor- if not then contact ur advisor and ask for advice.).
Although, why stop at a minor in criminology? Perhaps you should consider a BA or MA. A dear friend of mine is a criminologist (MA) & u can find employment in a variety of areas, such as federal corrections, criminal intelligence analysis or research. Salaries can vary widely based on job type and experience, but the pay is often above average (I think hers started at $79,000 annually, not including benefits or bonus.)
Foreign Languages are desirable for many careers at all levels of government too. (I'm bloody envious you are fluent in 3 languages. Bc my language lacks I have to go through grueling training (4 yrs after active duty is served) while I'm in the military bc they want me to be as fluent as possible in Japanese & Korean. Don't even get me started on diplomacy & policy-I will forever be a professional student!).
There is also the obvious choice of Journalism or Mass Communication, if your career plans take you into dealing with the news media.
Honestly speaking though, networking is one of the best ways to find employment. Ask people you know in an area youâre interested in, make contacts through organizations or associations you may belong to, etc. Check out The Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook. It is also wise to explore your options by requesting information from various accredited journalism schools, such as the one that offered you ur bachelorâs in journalism degree.

How do you like the ideas of idols dating each other?
richnieh
First of all, their companies forbid them because it breaks the fantasy of the fans, especially the most popular ones. Companies usually are afraid of bad record selling. Secondly, they donât really meet people outside of the circle for obvious reason, so how would they know they are dating someone suitable? Obviously most of them are very young and the relationship are really rarely worked out in those cases. Fans can give their blessing all they want but when it is publically known (most of the relationships donât), the pressure are just simply so different.
I honest support anyone to have relationship when they have a chance, just people are usually in different circumstances and they need to live their lives instead of chasing after less practical. I guess it will be a lovely experience even for idols, whose private lives are very isolated.
I think the smart thing to do is to wait and finish their career first before really dating anyone seriously. Oh, well, love itself is not a smart concept anyway.
Answer
In kpop if you wanna stay alive [especially if you have a lot of fans] it would be recommended not to date. But it's odd, you know, to stay alone for a long time just because your fans don't want you to.
I am pro idols dating since I believe that they are human first and then entertainers. But Korea and kpop fans are a bit strict when it comes to that so I might be thinking a little western for them.
Oh, well, love itself is not a smart concept anyway. THIS!!
I agree with you on that second paragraph. I don't know if you saw, but after SHINee's Jonghyun admitted dating Shin Se Kyung, during one of their Hello performances, when the fans were shouting the members' name, they skipped his. Well, some shouted but not strong enough. I found that really stupid. He's a young man of 20 something that shouldn't be picked on just because he said he dates someone.
It's a tricky businesses, dating as an idol in Korea. At least dating publicly. Cause I'm sure they date without fans knowing it just because their company keeps it hidden and the fans would dislike it [a lot would be an understatement].
The fans should get a life and admire them from afar. And idols should start publicizing their relationships so that it wouldn't such a big fuss about it. Someone's gotta start though, you know. Se7en did it, Jonghyun also, now Beast's Junghyun.. It's a good start. I'll look forward to this kinda news cause I believe it's somewhat a normal step in an [Korean] idol's life.
