Hi,

It’s great that you're planning to switch career to journalism, even while working in finance. Journalism is a field where strong communication, analytical skills, and a curious mindset matter and your background in finance could give you a better chance especially in business or financial journalism. Another thing to keep in mind that you're a working professional, you’ll probably want a program that offers flexibility like evening classes, weekend lectures or, part-time.

There are some college/program options you can consider:
