FYI, my editor (I'm an amateur journalist of sorts) said she is damn lucky to have a job right out of university (she graduated this spring with a B.Journalism from Ryerson), since so many people are going to school for it.
You're better off to journalistic stuff as extra-curriculars to build up a portfolio and learn about the industry while getting a degree in another field.
