    This is the path I wanna take. I wanna maybe broadcast for 2fm and write for the Irish times. Anyone have any experience in this field?
    Would taking Politics, English, History and Philosophy stand to me?:) Also considering Law

    Courses are good yeah, but getting involved with the College radio and newspaper would be your best bet.

    I'm sure whatever college you go to, the newspapers will be looking for staff writers for the year ahead. I know the ones in Trinity, will accept anyone throughout the year, once they are reliable. Wouldn't be too sure on the radio now.
