Im 25 &am having career crisis, I did a degree in accounting and wounded up as a trainee accountant - did you see that coming??! I took that route against all my creative will as I thought it'd give me a safe and secure future. But by gum am I bored stiff and dying to break out! My firm cant contain me and my non- conformity any longer and I need to get the hell out before I resign and give away my destroyed soul!! Ive always loved being colourful with words, flamboyant speech, detailed story telling - my emails are always OTT with far too much substance to be merely functional etc etc, so Ive decided perhaps writing is where its at. Question is how to make something out of it. I cant be impoverished for ever - so as much as I love learning, am unsure if I could do the 18 week NCTJ courses and on that basis how should I proceed? Voluntary work, unpaid articles seem to be the way to start, but supposing I succeed there, how do I turn these opportunites into more permanent (paid) work??
