What kind of writing do you do?

It differs from province to province. As far as I know, Alberta has the lowest minimum wage in Canada despite it being the wealthiest (read: oil and gas money) province.

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I'm a semi-recent grad (three years out with an honours degree). I have done at least five internships, both paid and unpaid, at prestigious companies since I graduated. However, I have yet to have any luck getting a permanent full-time gig.

Now I'm toying with whether or not to go back to school and get a masters degree, or keep trying to get a permanent job?

I'm a journalist and there are very few jobs available in my line of work at the moment, but I think that's also pretty much the case in most industries right now, right?

So my questions are: -How likely is it for the industry to turn around in the next couple of years? -Is it worthwhile to leave the workforce to get more education while waiting for the industry to turn around?

Thanks for your comment. A lot of my peers went into communications, but I am doing fairly well in journalism considering the state of the industry and it's my true passion. So I'm hoping to give it another shot before I settle for a communications gig.

Thanks for your answer. Is the jury still out then on whether employers are more interested in more work experience versus more education?
