"Opinion won't keep you warm at night" is a song which is performed by the Australian band Kisschasy whilst obviously stating that voicing your opinion may not always satisfy you in life. A Columnist can take this theory and reject it. Being a Columnist entitles you to construct a small article on a provided topic, based on your own opinion. Wouldn't that be any one's dream? To have your opinion published and read by many people who would also agree with what you have commented on.
Some of the most famous Columnist's have been sacked from their jobs due to accidental stuff ups. Most recently you may have heard in the news that certain posts submitted on 'Twitter' have placed Australian columnist, Catherine Deveny, in hot water.
"I do so hope Bindi Irwin gets laid"
Obtaining a job as a Columnist is often started off in your local area. After possessing a degree that proves you have proper training and professional expertise in this area, you need to gain some experience somewhere.
A recommended direction to travel in when beginning your career as a hopefully sucessful Columnist, is to start your own advice column, locally. Once you have gained experience in the area and also gained a small respected audience behind your field of expertise and continue to increase public awareness of your work, you are off to a great start. More people will begin to buy and discuss your work with other local members and then when applying for a position which requires experience, you have your previous work to back you up.
