I do the same thing. bittercat February 3 2012, 17:13:18 UTC

I've wanted to be a journalist for a while, but do not have a degree.

I have a (volunteer) staff position on a local news blog for my area. It's exciting and rewarding.

I miss being a journalist, but the pay is crappy unless you work for a MAJOR newspaper and/or magazine (and sadly, newspapers are on their way out).

Yeah. So I've heard.

I follow a couple of industry-related sites. Seems there are always layoffs, buyouts, consolidations, and closings.

I want to write in general, though. Ultimately, being a successful freelance reporter and editor would be my goal. (I'm also a photographer.)
