 Daily Breeze’s Rob KuzniaFancy a career in journalism? Before taking the plunge, speak with the Daily Breeze’s Rob Kuznia. He won the Pulitzer Prize alongside Rebecca Kimitchand Frank Suraci stories on corruption in the Torrance, California school district. (Winnings: $10,000.)

I spoke with him this afternoon and he admitted to a twinge of regret at no longer being a journalist, but he said it was too difficult to make ends meet at the newspaper while renting in the LA area.

So. About that career in journalism…
