There are many different types of job out there for writers or editors.  While many might argue that there are a select few, I read an article that pointed out many different positions.  The type of writing in jobs range from authors to technical writers.  Newspapers, periodicals, books, radio stations and even television broadcasting all have available jobs in the writing field.  It takes a lot of skills and knowledge to be able to be successful in a writing or editing position.  These jobs, require a college degree and you must know a bit about technology.  Clearly expressing ideas and concepts to the readers is a must; creativity, a broad range of knowledge and motivation are important aspects in the writing field.

While a lot of writing interests me, the one that comes to mind is writing about events or ideas that have much importance to me.  I feel as though I'm not as successful in writing things I care little about and I have great ideas that should be heard.  It would be fun to learn about how I can better myself as a writer and learn more about becoming a professional writer or editor for a magazine or even learn about free lance.  Writing is a huge part of my life and it will continue to be.
