Becoming a journalist?

I've been thinking about a few things recently.

College, because I don't know what I want to major in.

Writing, because I love writing and want to do more of it.

Learning to write in shorthand, because I take notes for the things I write sometimes and being able to write faster will help.

These three things have combined in an interesting way. They've got me thinking about pursuing journalism. I love writing, and think I'm comfortable writing on a deadline. I love listening and learning. I'm also good at those things, I think. It may not be a super stable career, but it may be worth learning about at least! Even if it's not my career, maybe I can do freelance journalism on the side. What do y'all think about me being a journalist? What do y'all think about journalism in general? Let me know!
