I've come to a point in my life where I (yet again) know what I want to do for a living.
I want to become a journalist. Ok, so I've always wanted to be a journalist to some degree. Back in the day, I wanted to write for a video game magazine. You know, play video games all day long and then write about what I liked and hated about them. Then I grew out of that (still wouldn't mind doing it though). A few years ago, I thought maybe I could start an Asian magazine and write things in there, kind of like the way Asian Avenue is. That is when I discovered there ARE Asian magazines out there. Yolk and Giant Robot.
This year, when I started learning about cars, I thought maybe, just maybe, if i learned enough about cars, I could write for a car magazine. Now I think I wouldn't mind doing any of those.
Also, there is technical writing. How to describe this... writing the instruction booklet for a video game would be the best example. It's not great, but I wouldn't mind doing it. If you're like me and you take the time to read some of these instruction booklets, you realize the put alot of effort in them, and sometimes, they are quite humourous.
With the commonality of the internet now, wanting to be a writer for a webpage wouldn't be so bad either. I don't even care for what, but as long as it lets me express my creativity (much like my blog), i'm game. So now, for my Co-Op jobs, 85% of them are jobs involving web design. One is even for a record company where you have to post articles. I know i'm not the best for the job; i know little about music and who's who, but it would prove to be an interesting experience.
Inevitably, I want to become an author and write my own literary work. Wither or not it becomes a New York Times best seller is still up for grabs. But i'm going to do it.
Or my name isn't Spidey-Ma.
