Best and worst careers to go into debt for - MarketWatch

Here is the particular excerpt I find interesting;

Reporter

Journalists can start digging up stories as soon as they’re out of school, but digging themselves out of debt could take longer to accomplish. With a median salary of $37,090, or a third of the average pay enjoyed by their counterparts in marketing, reporters could be paying student loans for 32 years before they’re done, the site estimates.

Suffice it to say, I know someone who majored in mass communications with an emphasis in written media (newspapers and such). That person did not pay even *remotely* close to what an "average" pilot does between college and training, and yet what does the reporter's salary look like?
