@lookingforward The rules change all of the time, and you’re right she needs to look into her individual situation. Also, though, agreements can sometimes be worked out.
@mel159 Good luck with your journalism career. I’m sure that you will do well at that too, esp. if you’re able to plan ahead as you clearly are able to do, look forward to a goal and reason back to where you currently stand (as you clearly already do), and if journalism is your passion, then you’re going to do well regardless of what you go into.
Best of luck.
