Magazine Writing?

This past Sunday I spent my day at the Dilworthtown Inn Wine Festival, tasting wine, listening to music, and browsing local artists' displays. Since my first trip to California last summer, I have found a passion for wine. I love the process of tasting and finding wine that my friends and I like. While attending the festival, I realized why shouldn't I make a career out of my interest? Maybe I should have made this blog to focus on wine culture. Perhaps I have an idea for my next blog. Who knows, my future professional career may be in writing for Food and Wine Magazine.
What are some of your interests that could lead to a potential writing career? Fashion? Literature? Education?

Upcoming Advisor Meeting

This week I have a meeting with my advisor to discuss Spring courses. I have a pretty good idea which classes I'll be taking, but I'd also like to discuss my plans for the following semester as well. If all goes well (crossing my fingers) I expect to graduate in the Fall of 2010. Even though this is a semester behind, I'm actually happy about this minor delay. I'm certainly in no rush to graduate since I'm unsure of my future career plans. And ESPECIALLY due to the economy. I know many recent graduates who simply can't find jobs. Why be in a rush where there are no jobs to be gotten? I also plan to talk with my advisor about possible internships and she what she has to reccommend.

While surfing the web, I found a website that has an extensive list of possible careers for English Majors. Some interesting/unexpecting fields: Goldsmith, Traffic Manager, Humorist. If you're an English major, check it out! You may see something that sparks you interest.
