Q10: Entry-level positions
What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider? I suspect that in any field, including journalism and construction, they all offer internships. All the companies I've worked for have internships.
I don't think there is a better way to learn how to do the job and what it's actually like. Is it for me? Every question can be answered if you really dive into the internship.
You're lucky if you're at a company that really lets you do that. Every company I've worked at, no matter the field, allows you to get into the thick of it. They want you to dive in and do the work.
So, my best advice is to do internships. Do many of them. You'll learn a lot, and hopefully, one of them will lead to that first entry-level job.
