The Jandoli Institute hosted a live Twitter Chat on Feb. 21 for aspiring and young journalists. Below are responses to a question posed by WBFO reporter Tom Dinki.
I considered it but decided I wanted the experience first. Ultimately, my goal is to get my Master’s to be a professor and terrorize future generations.

<p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”Money is why I never even gave serious thought to grad school. Didn’t want more debt and didn’t feel it was worth it given the field doesn’t pay much. But I know people who have gone and are really benefiting from it.— Tom Dinki (@tomdinki) February 21, 2020I sorta did! For broadcast, you don’t really need it. That’s my opinion though lol —I did want to do law school because I think it’s super helpful for news. But everyone is different- doesn’t hurt ya

I also considered law school! I keep applying for the Law School for Journalists training programs whenever I see them. #JandoliChat
