New carpet, it's very nice.

Edit: Good to see you with an account, Andrew.

Yeah, I started it because I wanted to talk about this interview I got today.

Aaaaaand it panned out to be nothing. Although I killed the interview, which is really good for me, because that's my weakest part of the application process.

I have a strong-ish resume for what I want to do, now I just need to bust my ass and get out there and apply en masse.

I do have a degree......

...in English.

Writing/editing/journalism are about what I have, unless I force my way into publishing and bust my ass to become a literary agent. But at 27, without any publishing agency experience, that's tough to get into, if not impossible at this point.

Same goes for advertising copywriting, which I think I'd excel at. I just can't afford another degree, nor can I afford any sort of unpaid internship, thanks to private student loans and my fucking car. Car can't sell for what I owe on it right now, thanks to piling up mileage driving to and from FMU every day.

So I don't have a whole lot to work with here. That said, I'm still busting ass at Total 911, and with the right conditions I should be able to stick in or around automotive journalism for the rest of my life. That's really my biggest passion.

If I could write for R&T, Automobile, C&D, Jalopnik, any of those...that'd be it for me.

Have you sent your 911 articles to other magazines as an example of your work and to show that youre already published?

I will hire you to write for me. Can't just use other peoples essays in law school so i'm fucked.

Kids these days.
Just because you have a degree in English doesn't mean the only job you can get is in writing or teaching.

I'm sure writing would be a super kewl thing to do for a hipster like you, but you don't know anyone apparently. And I'm guessing its one of those industries where you have to know someone or start at the very bottom.
