Q: How would you suggest I approach my future in teaching? Should I go for the master's now, or should I get another three years under my belt first? I've been in the business professionally now for almost two years. Let me know what you think.
Andre A: Many journalists teach at local universities part time as adjuncts and have no master's degrees.
Try to teach as soon as you feel ready. If you'd like to build more confidence before you face a roomful of college students, practice in high schools that are looking for journalists to come out for career days and the like.
The master's degree become critical if you want to go for a full-time, tenure-track position.
