You may find the experience that you gain by working for someone to be well worth it in terms of what it can help do for your long term success.

Maybe that's just me (guess not judging by the responses by Bubs and Michael Kwan). Home businesses FTW!!

This is why co-op programs and work exchange programs are so important. One thing I forgot to mention is that most students fail to get relevant work experience while they’re in school.

I graduated from university with a degree in Psychology and English Lit. I too wanted to write for a prominent newspaper or magazine but had no success in getting that kind of job. I ended up with an unsatisfying position at a non-profit, but I wasn't all that interested in their material to begin with. After 5 months there, I quit and went on to start my own freelance writing business (michaelkwan.com) and I haven't looked back since. I love being my own boss and I love "creating my own job", as you say. In the end, I feel that it was actually easier for me to launch my business than to try and land a junior position at a magazine. Talk about right up my alley.
