Despite declining numbers for arts and humanities majors, jobs for writers  (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics site) are still growing at 2%, but jobs in film producing and editing are expected to grow from 9-11% faster than other occupations. Good news for my daughter Katie, a film major.  I’m encouraging Nick to think about writing for film, television or media sites too.
