Got What It Takes To Be A Reporter?

I scored 27 out of 30 on the Talent and Temperament sections. I would actually prefer a steady 9-5 job, but I'm willing to work unconventional schedules for the right thing. I do need to make enough money to support my family, though. That's where 3 of the points went.

  1. Most media careers (news or adv/PR agency) don't fit the 9-5 model. If you want more stable hours, your best bet is corporate or organizational PR/communications. Those positions will often still have periods when you are busier and need to work longer hours to meet deadlines, but they are more likely to have "regular" hours more of the time. As a bonus, these kinds of positions usually tend to pay better than journalism too.

    10/10

  2. P.S. You seem to have missed three recent assignments: two ethics-related ones (emailed) and the broadcast lead assignment. What happened?
