    It's become clear GM's now realize their is always younger and eager who really can do the same job at a lower price. Especially to be on TV. I see many young Wendy Tokuda's at the DMV..who would love to look up from an anchor desk and just read,instead of the DMV desk. Smart too.
    What those named are learning is that their parents were right-Journalism doesn't pay. "You should have been a lawyer or Doctor for what I spent to put you through college"...

    Dear Anonymous,

    1. Journalism pays very well to the few who are good a it.

    2. I paid my own way through college by working summers and holiday breaks as a journalist.

    3. Dad wanted me to be an accountant. He was a great guy, but my way was a lot more fun.

    I'm LOVIN' Anna Duckworth on KCBS! Can't wait for her to start anchoring.

    It is rough out there. I notice some out of work paper writers now working for AOL's Patch.com network. And while it is nice to see someone hiring, all graphics, from what I heard, and upper management are still back in Manhattan. Only the reporters and sales staff are local. I don't know how much those gigs pay either but I'm guessing not much.
