Before he became a rock star, Andrew Dost of the group fun. studied journalism at Central Michigan University. “I wasn’t even particularly interested in journalism until I took an intro class,” he tells Katherine Ranzenberger.
I loved the professor and I loved the challenges journalism brought, so I figured if I needed to study something as a backup plan, I might as well do something that fascinated me and had great professors.
