Article: If you have a flair for writing and your grammar is top-shelf, be active in your school's newspaper or any other writing program they have, for that matter. The sooner your resume starts beefing up, the better. Even if you're writing the school lunch menu, it counts. Looking for a job in high school? Get a job at a local newspaper, even if it is sorting out their mail. When you come back home for summers, you may be looking at a promotion to something more along the lines of what you're looking for, and it'll be easy to sink into. Plenty of journalists don't have journalism degrees if you're naturally a good writer, you've got the hard part covered. But it does make everything a bit easier, so do consider getting an undergrad in journalism...but also something else. Something else a bit more tangible (your parents might call it "practical"). This way when you write, you have an area of expertise you can actually write about. Anything is good, but studying technology is probably best. If you know HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Javascript, and everything in between, you won't have to stay in print media (which is, to be frank, a dying art). Computer science and related fields will give you a leg up into digital media. Landing an awesome journalism gig is hard. What's more, if you have a double major, you have a back up should you need it. Consider getting a minor instead, if a double major is for some reason unfeasible. One of the greatest things about college is that there are so many opportunities. If you're not jiving with your campus newspaper, there's half a dozen other resources you can be a part of. Get your hands on something in line with your interests. It doesn't have to be perfect now; it just has to be a start. There are likely groups that you don't even realize could give you writing and reporting opportunities. Many groups have newsletters and publicity people whose job is to get the name of the organization out there. That could be you. Truth be told, going to college and majoring in journalism sounds like the platform you need to become a journalist, but often it's not. Having that background doesn't mean your writing is good, it doesn't mean you have interesting things to say, and it doesn't mean you have the connections you need. So take a gap year. Why? You can go abroad, find interesting stories, learn about different cultures and write about it. This will give you great material should you be looking for freelance gigs. You'll essentially be a location reporter doing international news. What's more, the competition in the West is intense. If you go to a different country with different language and cultural skills, it'll be easier to land a gig to pad that resume. Another plus? It'll help you learn a foreign language. When you go to apply for real adult jobs, saying you can speak another language is a definite perk. After you've gotten your BA to set up your knowledge base and you've taken a year off to get experiences, hone your craft, and just take time to settle into the fact that yes, this is what you want to do, think about going back to school to get your master's or a postgraduate diploma. Most take 9 months to a year, but each program varies. Remember, this isn't 100% necessary. Plenty people do it the hard way and just put in the work, building up their portfolio, and trying to make connections. If more education doesn't apply to you, don't stress. There are other ways. Look for a program that's nationally recognized. For example, in the UK, you'd be looking for a program that's affiliated with the National Council for the Training of Journalists, or the NCTJ. There are also shorter courses you can take affiliated with major institutions that only last a couple of months. They give you a certificate at the end, showing everyone that you have the basic skills to cut it out there in the field.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get on your high school's newspaper. Go to college with a double major, if possible. Work on your campus newspaper, radio, or with other news outlets. Take a gap year if you'd like. Consider getting your MA or a postgraduate diploma in journalism.

Besides knowing your skin needs, it's important to know your budget when it comes to skin care. Prices for skin care products can vary greatly, ranging anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred or more. Figuring out your minimum and maximum expenditure is very useful for limiting your skin care options. For example, facial moisturizers alone can run you anywhere from less than $10 (like Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion) to around $50 (like Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Sunscreen Cream) to more than $100 (such as Tracie Martyn Re-sculpting Cream). As a general rule, product lines carried at salons, boutiques, high-end department stores, and spas tend to cost more than those on the shelves of your local pharmacy or discount retailer. Organic products must use all-natural materials that have not been genetically modified, synthetically produced, or grown with pesticides or chemical fertilizers. While there is no evidence that they are more effective than other types of skin care products, some people prefer organic lines because of their lack of potentially toxic chemical ingredients and ethical, environmentally sound production standards. The use of the word "organic" on product labels is highly regulated by the USDA, so you can be confident that the product that advertises itself as such meets a strict code. However, words like "natural," "non-toxic," or "hypoallergenic" are not regulated. Since they have no set legal definition, it's important to treat them as marketing terms rather than specific factual claims. When you're looking for a skin care line, you should pick those products that have active ingredients that have been clinically proven to be effective. Be sure to check the labels to ensure that the lines you are considering have at least 5-15% concentrations of safe and effective active ingredients. The most important active ingredients are Vitamins A, B, C, and E, but they will most likely take on different names on product labels. For Vitamin A, which helps with moisturizing, acne, rosacea, and dermatitis, look for retinoic acid, retinol, or retinyl-propionate. For Vitamins B & B5, which moisturize while addressing acne, itchiness, eczema, and sunburn, look for niacin, nicotinamide, pantothenic acid, or panthenol. For Vitamin C, which enhances skin texture while decreasing wrinkles and sun damage, look for L-ascorbic acid. For Vitamin E, which moisturizes and helps prevent wrinkles, look for DI-alpha-tocopherol. Do not use products that include tocopherol acetate, since this form of Vitamin E is especially susceptible to degradation from sunlight and can therefore actually cause damage to your skin. The most basic "line" will pair a cleanser with a moisturizer. If you're looking for a more complete regime that can address more specific issues, you can consider adding on toners, exfoliators, serums, and/or specific treatments (for instance, for nights, wrinkles, under-eye puffing and discoloration, or acne). The amount of product you get should correspond with both your skin care needs and lifestyle. More comprehensive lines will be more costly to purchase and time-consuming to administer.
