[Job-Discussions] Anyone in writing careers?

[Ericka]

Hi Sarah! We got a bully when I was in college grant writing and proposal writing was not a part of my curriculums. Now for social workers they can’t graduate without this. I’m no I’m going to have to do something to gain new skills but I don’t really  consider the business end of things. Funny you should mention that. Years and years ago when us girls were growing up and planning her higher education my dad told us all that graduate and something you love and some thing business related. That way you’ve got something to fall back on. Well the only one that listen to my dad is the one that doesn’t struggle to pay bills! So you just prove my dad‘s point Sarah. What does my sister who is that struggling for about a paycheck do? She’s been running or working and theater ever since. She was the executive director of a performing arts Center among other things. Figures it will be the baby of the family! 

This is all related to public relations or HR correct? Thought about HR.

Just brainstorming, not committing to anything. If there are other riders on here I would love to hear from you. Not just people who’ve written children’s books or novels that got published but any kind. I have any advice for someone who is 50 almost in breaking into a new career I’ll take it! Appreciate by the way the advice!
