Journalism
When I was in high school I dreamed to be a journalist. I even was published in the local newspaper called Communist. There was very little of communism in it. Paper was focused mostly on local news and events. After USSR collapsed they published mostly ads to make some money to survive. After the last class I realized how smart I was not to pursue career in journalism. There are few reasons for that. First of all, after I saw a REAL journalist I realized that to become one is not the same as to become an accountant or manager or even professor. You have to have a TALENT. Jesse Day seems to have one. Education on this matter is just a ticket to job market to show that you're educated. Second, it seems to be a pretty stressful job to live constantly on deadlines, especially for TV and broadcast journalists. That's a lot of pressure. So to be a journalist you really-really have to love this "sport".
