Stossel characterizes himself as having been "an indifferent student" while in college, commenting, "I daydreamed through half my classes at Princeton, and applied to grad school only because I was ambitious, and grad school seemed like the right path for a 21-year-old who wanted to get ahead." Although he had been accepted to the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Chicago" title="University of Chicago">University of Chicago</a>'s School of Hospital Management, Stossel was "sick of school" and thought taking a job would inspire him to embrace graduate studies with renewed vigor.<sup id="cite_ref-GimmeABreak_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GimmeABreak-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Stossel recalled in an interview that after graduating college, "like a lot of young people I thought <a href="/wiki/Capitalism" title="Capitalism">capitalism</a> was ok it brings us some stuff but it's cruel and unfair".<sup id="cite_ref-:4_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:4-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Stossel&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_career">Early career</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Stossel&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Early career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In school, Stossel aspired to work at <i>Seattle Magazine</i>, but it went out of business by the time he graduated. His contacts there assisted him in getting a job at <a href="/wiki/KGW-TV" class="mw-redirect" title="KGW-TV">KGW-TV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Portland,_Oregon" title="Portland, Oregon">Portland, Oregon</a>, where Stossel began as a newsroom gofer, working his way up to researcher and then writer. After a few years, the news director told Stossel to go on the air and read what he wrote. Despite his <a href="/wiki/Stage_fright" title="Stage fright">stage fright</a>, Stossel says his fear spurred him to improve, examining and imitating broadcasts of <a href="/wiki/David_Brinkley" title="David Brinkley">David Brinkley</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jack_Perkins_(reporter)" title="Jack Perkins (reporter)">Jack Perkins</a>. Stossel had also <a href="/wiki/Stuttering" title="Stuttering">stuttered</a> since childhood. After a few years of on-air reporting, Stossel was hired by <a href="/wiki/WCBS-TV" title="WCBS-TV">WCBS-TV</a> in New York City, by Ed Joyce, the same news director who hired <a href="/wiki/Arnold_Diaz" title="Arnold Diaz">Arnold Diaz</a>, <a href="/wiki/Linda_Ellerbee" title="Linda Ellerbee">Linda Ellerbee</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dave_Marash" title="Dave Marash">Dave Marash</a>, <a href="/wiki/Joel_Siegel" title="Joel Siegel">Joel Siegel</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lynn_Sherr" title="Lynn Sherr">Lynn Sherr</a>. Stossel was disappointed at CBS, feeling that the more limited amount of time spent there on research lowered the quality of its journalism compared to Portland. Stossel cites union work rules that discouraged the extra work that Stossel felt allowed employees to be creative, which he says represented his "first real introduction to the deals made by special interests". Stossel also "hated" Joyce, who he felt was "cold and critical", though Stossel credits Joyce with allowing him the freedom to pursue his own story ideas, and with recommending the Hollins Communications Research Institute in <a href="/wiki/Roanoke,_Virginia" title="Roanoke, Virginia">Roanoke, Virginia</a>, that helped Stossel manage his stutter.<sup id="cite_ref-GimmeBreak3-8_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GimmeBreak3-8-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Stossel grew continuously more frustrated with having to follow the assignment editor's vision of what was news. Perhaps because of his stuttering, he had always avoided covering what others covered, feeling he could not succeed if he were forced to compete with other reporters by shouting out questions at news conferences. However, this led to the unexpected realization for Stossel that more important events were those that occurred slowly, such as the <a href="/wiki/Feminist_movement" title="Feminist movement">women's movement</a>, the growth of computer technology, and advancements in <a href="/wiki/Contraception" class="mw-redirect" title="Contraception">contraception</a>, rather than daily events like government pronouncements, elections, fires, or crime. One day, Stossel bypassed the assignment editor to give Ed Joyce a list of story ideas the assignment editor had rejected.
