Tips / Samples
I'm not going to try to just become purely an author or writer. I'd like to write on my own time and maybe one day I can get a hobby story I wrote published.
Duties/Tasks:
To write stories, fiction or non fiction for entertainment.
Work Environment:
If writers work on their own they work in their own home or anywhere where they can use a computer. This includes offices or cafes.
Training, Qualifications, and Advancement:
Typically they need a bachelor's degree in English.
Job Outlook/Demand:
There's a 2% increase in demand, not as much as other jobs.
Earnings
$60,250 per year.
Related Occupations:
Editors, announcers, and techincal writers.
Interesting Fact(s):
The slow growth for this job is due to how competitive it is. Many people love writing which is good and bad for me, good because it means I have more to read but bad because it will be harder for me to get a job.
