I tweeted this story earlier today about a ex-journalist who was
forced to take a retail job after having a long prosperous career. Then
unfortunately he made one bad move and he was out of a job. In some
respects I sympathise with him because I'm sort of in the same boat as
he is.
My situation is slightly different than his in his case he got off to a great start until one event caused his career to unravel. In my case, I'm still looking for mine and illustrated one example recently where unfortunately it didn't work in my favor.
Every now and then we hear stories about how x-amount of jobs were added to the economy, but seemingly not enough to offset the number of unemployed right now. Thankfully I do have a job, but at the same time you got your start now it's time to move ahead to something better. The question that keeps hitting my mind is what does it take?
We got to keep moving and we got to keep plugging away. Best wishes to those out there looking.

The hard part is getting a comparable salary when you get back in journalism. I saw so many people who achieved more in my career than I did get fired and reduced to menial jobs I decided to change careers.
