Be careful what you wish for

There we all were all bright eyed and ready to take on the media bizz in a big way. (For the puposes of this blog us refers to me and my friends from tertiary) At the end of last year my fellow journalism classmates and I bid farewell to our beloved campus as we entered the working enviroment. And we didn't do too badly. Who would have thought that the loudmouths would end up working for well-established media companies like SABC, Primedia and Yfm amongst others (certainly not our academic assasssin lecturers thats for sure). Now we have all been working for about four months (give or take a few months) and we are all camplaining. If its not me complaining about being bored, its another friend complaining about being overworked.Log onto our facebook profiles and you'd swear we were a bunch of old age home residents instead of young udults. The funny thing is we all got pretty much what we asked for. I wanted to be a writer and here I am writing and some wanted to ho into broadcast (that's exactly where they are). So if there is one lesson learnt from this entire year is to be careful what I wish for because chances are that I WILL STILL MOAN WHEN I FINALLY GET IT.
