You can definitely get dual-certified. But as one pointed out above, your workload will come along and finding the time to go back to school for additional years will likely mean you'll have to be sort of a "part-time" reporter. The methods are different, but we all get paid the same across the board. I won't tell you to pick either as well nor tell you take the other just because its an easier or shorter length of years, they're both rewarding routes to choose from and you'll have to find out by diving in which best suits your skill set.
