Any suggestions?

Quick question:

How can I find a good job where I can use my writing skills? I graduated with a journalism degree, but newspapers are dying, it's hard to find anything online, and I've just had a lot of trouble in general finding a job.

Are there any companies that I can look at where maybe I could do some writing? How about organizations like the Reds (just as an example), with press releases and such? Maybe something unconventional that I haven't considered yet that some of you may know about?

Just looking for any tips and/or hints. Thanks for any help.

Have you thought about technical writing?

Re: Any suggestions?

As someone with a Broadcast Journalism degree (from the Harvard of the South, West Georiga), can I recommend an exciting career in: (in no particular order): Pizza delivery, shoe sales, Salad Dressing, RV sales, Video store clerk, Insurance Sales, Pharmacy, Airport Security, couriering, paint sales.

Or you can skip all that and go directly to claim adjusting like I should have done in the first place.

18 year old girl created this site, and she brings in about 100 grand per month. She created the site when she was 15 i believe.
