Turning Real Writing Jobs into My Home Wealth System
By aloktoeto at 30 August, 2010, 12:00 am
When people used to ask me what I was majoring in during college, I said English. When they asked if I was going to be a teacher, I said yes. They would smile and say what else can you do? And I would say, be a waitress with a degree.
And, for a long time, I really believed this to be true. In fact, I believed it to be so true that when I lost my teaching job in a massive reduction in force, I immediately got a job doing what I used to do in college – bartending.
Very quickly I realized, however, that another thing I always believed to be true was in fact true – that very few people can write. When I say write, I do not mean fire off an email to a coworker or take three days constructing an impressive cover letter. I mean not very many people can sit down day after day and do, for instance, what I am doing right now – writing an article for mass consumption with very little time and effort.
The corporate world is full of real writing jobs. Marketing, in particular, is full of need for competent people who are not constantly looking a dictionary or relying on a Word spell check. Or worse, relying on a Word grammar check. If I had gotten one more paper as a teacher where a student defended their terrible grammar by saying they had used grammar check; well, they may not have had to lay me off.
Companies are hiring people to write their newsletters or compile data into comprehensive and intelligent sounding synopses for their shareholders, new employees, or whoever else might be interested. Many companies are trying to create an accessible public image by having a blog, or web log, discussing company current events, and they need someone to be able to run it – and maybe post a tweet now and then.
My skills in writing have turned into my home wealth system. When my fiance took a job in California, I went along, doing free lance work for companies that needed technical writers. I can say that without a doubt technical writing is probably the single most boring activity I have ever done, but when I was hanging out in the coffee houses of San Francisco or snowboarding in Lake Tahoe, I really did not care.
So if you have the talent and the stomach for it, take a look around you and see if you can find some real writing jobs for yourself. And if you are lucky, what happens to be my home wealth system could easily be yours.
