Hey, Void. I've been a writer for many years, at least until this fall, when I returned to school to study medicine. I got my undergrad degree with a double major in English and journalism, and that sorta covered both bases, creative writing and publication writing. I started out after college by teaching, then worked as a reporter on a newspaper, then went back to school, then went to work for a corporation, where I wrote everything from brochures, ads and video scripts to executive speeches. I was working as a speechwriter when I left that job to return to school.

You can do all sorts of things as a writer. And the good thing is you can pretty much call your own shots. You can work for someone else like a news agency or a corporation, or you can build a freelance business and be your own boss. There are lots of good schools at which to study writing, depending on the type that interests you. If you know which type of writing interests you, let me know and I'll tell you what I know about good schools. The truth is you can get good training at almost any college or university. The real key to being a good writer is practice, practice, practice. I'd probably recommend journalistic training simply because it's a practical way to earn money professionally, and you can do creative writing like novels or poetry in your spare time if that interests you, too. Good luck!
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . WRiters? I was wondering if there is any experianced writers out there who know what their doing and could give me some advice, you know regarding to careers or colleges and such. What would be a good college, or an interesting (not boring) career pertaining to writing. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm near the end of my senior year and I really need to get my shit straight and it seems as though the only thing I've ever been half good at is writing. Rating: 5
