If you’re interested in a fast-paced, exciting business where people love yelling at you from the top of their lungs, may I suggest newspapering?
Don’t get me wrong—newspapering has been very good to me. Here are just a few of the perks I’ve received during my time at the Mercury: free coffee…. Okay, I literally just sat here for five minutes trying to think of anything else and couldn’t do it. OH, WAIT! Brushes with celebrities! Thanks to my newspapering connections, I’ve personally met movie star Sam Elliott, former O.J. Simpson pal Kato Kaelin, SNL’s Aidy Bryant, and a miniature donkey who nibbled at my crotch. Those were good times.
Otherwise? Newspapering usually involves writing a ton of stories and then sitting back as readers yell and shit all over your work. But here’s the thing: I don’t mind so much!
