I can honestly say that I have had my fill of the West Coast. I would have no problem working here locally, but my main objective is to re-locate to some other region given the opportunity All of the job titles listed above have expected growth with the exception of Journalism. This is due to the rise of independent journalists that have their own forums on the internet. I actually think that being a Journalist would be the easiest of the five to do, since those who do opinion articles are more in demand then those who report hard news.
Hi Shaun!
ReplyDeleteI think these are some cool job choices. I love that you are ready to try a new area. Looks like you would do well on the East coast with the types your are choosing.... maybe you could be a New Yorker! Crazy! Best of luck with your journey!
Your job choices are very unique - with journalism, have you considered just being a professional "blogger." I don't know much about it, but I've seen it listed as a job title :)
ReplyDeleteI like that your choices focus on the writing within design.
