			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advice on how to become a blogger in college from <a href="http://www.wired.com/culture/education/news/2007/08/future_careers?currentPage=all">Wired</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Spend less time on coursework, because unless you&#8217;re going to graduate school, your grades don&#8217;t matter. And you don&#8217;t need to go to grad school to be a journalist. This route will leave more time for you to start blogging in college and jump into the work world with a strong following already established (plus a public record that you can write and report the news).</p></blockquote>
<p>Sounds about right.</p>
