That's what Time magazine World editor Romesh Ratnesar says. "The thing about journalism is that it isn't a linear path, the way other professions are -- and if you think it is, you're in the wrong job. Journalism is something you do your whole life. There's a reason journalists become journalists and not academics, and that's because journalists like me like to cover a wide variety of things. I imagine at some stage I'll leave journalism, and try my hand at another line of work. But I think I'll always come back to writing."
