[quote=Anonymous]I was an English major, and I ultimately did become a successful writer. But along the way, I’ve worked in other fields. Whether I worked as a crisis consultant, financial analyst or paralegal, I stood out in each job because of my writing and critical-thinking skills. Money wasn’t my main motivation, but I probably make more today because I didn’t play it safe and go into law or something safe. But I did have to find jobs with good benefits until I was able to make it on my own as a writer. Early on, I was given some good advice. Choose a secondary area of specialization as well so you have some expertise to offer future readers. I don’t care if you’re a welder or an astrophysicist— just know something others don’t, and be able to tell a compelling story. Plus, more life experience makes for better writers.[/quote]
