The verdict is in: some level of post-secondary education is key to getting hired... but there is more to it than that.

Find out the good and the bad news about jobs in this ever-evolving sector.  Jobs exist, but in certain fields, you're on your own.

Gaining experience, being persistent—and growing a thick skin—are all part of the puzzle.  

There is an enormous variety of job types within media and communications, and some pretty interesting people working internationally.  Meet some of them here.

An ever-changing landscape for traditional media means that today there are few permanent journalism or foreign correspondent positions, the rise of digital storytelling is creating new opportunities for journalists internationally—and new challenges, too.

If you love to travel, explore new places, learn from different cultures and people around the world, and translate your experiences into stories that others can learn from, then travel and culture writing might be the dream career for you.
