"Journalism is a good fit for you. mostly--but it may require you to change your attitude or improve some skills."

What I found interesting about this assignment is that I have all of the "right" answers for temperament, which makes me believe that I have the right attitude for being a journalist. However, I received hardly any points for talent. I don't think I'm destined to be a journalist because I don't think I'd make a happy living doing something I don't have much talent for! I pretty much knew I wouldn't pursue journalism as a professional career, just a hobby right now.

  1. It's a tough career and not everyone's cup of tea. But good writing skills are helpful in just about every field.

    10/10
