      I wouldn’t exactly say it’s necessary, but competitive hiring and prospective employer’s expectations will probably mean that you should have one. Unless you have a lot of other things on your side, and you’re excellently qualified otherwise, I think it will be twice as difficult to get a job in that field as it already is.

      Writing seems to be kind of tricky. Many people that I know who want to be writers have used college as a way to develop and polish their writing. Other has just taken entry level jobs and worked on their writing while working themselves up at local papers or magazines. A good internship that doesn’t require a degree may be helpful in choosing what you want to do.
