A career in journalism that interests me most is freelance writing. I found a job for HubPages that is a blogging and writing career. The topics would be ones I "know and love" and I must have an understanding about what people are searching for online. It allows me to share what I'm an expert at and help others achieve what they're searching for. The job is located online and a person in this position can not expect to make enough money that will fully support them, since they will be paid based on posting frequency and internet variables including page views, subscriptions, session length, and advertiser interest. Required skills are great writing skills, consistency and commitment to publish regularly, interest in growing and interacting with readership, and a passion for sharing what I know. There is no level of education or experience required, which is good because I am still in high school and do not have much work experience.

6.00 Thinking About Careers
Anderson Cooper, once a fake-press-pass-attaining aspiring journalist, is now one of the most known names in American journalism. As soon as he finished college at Yale, he got a job as a fact checker for a small news organization called Channel One. Since then, he has worked at ABC, CNN, and CBS as multiple positions. Along with having experience as a fact checker, he has some as a correspondent, a co-anchor, an anchor, and a prime-time anchor! These definitely add up to quite an impressive resume and an expert level of experience in journalism.
Now, Cooper hosts his own show called Anderson Cooper 360°. The show is a mixture of journalism and a talk show, which Cooper not only co-produces, but stars in. This job differs from his previous news positions in that it focuses solely on him and not his news team as a whole, but is similar in the sense that it is still reporting current events to the public. With so many accomplishments achieved, Anderson Cooper is definitely at the top of his career, and will hopefully stay on top for a long while.
