I have a nursing degree (BSN). I hated nursing. Like.. really hated it. I took a chance and applied for a writing position with Yahoo News! I got it. That was in 2001. The rest is history.
I would not go back to the corporate world. Some months I make 200 bucks and others $6K. It is never the same. But I love the journey.
My goal is to make $3K regularly. That would give me enough to save for a rainy day and pay my bills. I would love to find a full-time salary writing position. However, I am not sure about writing all day every day. I like being flexible.
