There's no denying it. Being young has its disadvantages, especially in the world of journalism. You can look forward to long hours, low pay (if you're lucky enough to get paid), hostile treatment from sources and the often depressing nature of covering what's wrong with the world.But, just in time, there is this site: windowonthemedia.com/JollyJournalist.
I heard about this in an Australian podcast, which examines the current media situation in Oz and around the world. So, if you're feeling the malaise of being unappreciated take a refresher course in what makes journalism great.
My reasons: you get to see the world through the eyes of others and tell stories. Plus, you aren't chained to a desk.
Why do you pursue journalism?

Those who can't chuckle in the face of death and corruption shouldn't even be here. Losers.
