What do i do to become a journalist?
Don’t worry about your low marks. To be a successful journalist or in any other writing career, develop good writing skills. Other than journalism, another area you might want to consider is Technical Writing. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-09 Edition (bls.gov/oco/ocos089.htm#outlook), the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor says that the “Opportunities should be best for technical writers and those with training in a specialized field.” In India too, technical writing is a promising career option. Entry-level salaries are quite good and they range from Rs. 240,000 to 300,000 per year. After a few years of work experience in the technical writing field, you can work as a freelancer.
