ok- that was downright rude of your teacher. You can be a journalist and its an important job. How else would we have know what was going on during Hurricane Katrina, or in Iraq or any other major event in history? I'm a journalist. I make money at it and its a job I love. I had so many people tell me through the years not to do it or good luck with that one and things like that, and you know what, I did it. Best thing to do is to look at schools that have journalism or good schools of communications. Most large universities do. Or, if you'd rather go to a small school, look to major in English as you will have a good foundation in writing. While in school work on the school paper or tv or radio station, also internships! they offer them at most schools or during the summer you can line one up. That is the most important thing you can do to become a journalist.
I think it stinks that a teacher of all people said that to you, but let that be something that makes you want to strive to become one more and prove him wrong.
Keep me posted on the latest and if you have any questions, please ask!

Thanks =]

Just some common sense advice in this crazy messed up world.
