Degrees in journalism equip students to work in various media as reporters, photojournalists, editors, researchers and commentators. However, journalism graduates may also seek out related careers as writers, lawyers, teachers, advertising executives, public relations or foreign affairs officers. There are few schools of graduate journalism in Canada, but such a degree is a possibility for graduates who wish to consider management level or teaching positions in journalism. Postgraduate work in print culture, media studies, semiotics or communications studies are also options. U of T’s “What Can I Do With My Degree in Journalism?” is a helpful starting place: http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~career/degreetipsheets/journ-03.pdf The Canadian Newspaper Association has a career overview here, as well as links to job postings: http://www.cna-acj.ca/client/cna/cna.nsf/web/Journalism Journalism.net has links to Canadian jobs in the field: http://www.journalismnet.com/jobs/canada.htm
