AV position with Durham Public Schools
When I was doing career exploration, I never imagined that a school system would have anything media related. There are some school systems that hire people with TV experience to teach proudction or radio. Many school systems have their own TV networks. After the hectic schedule of live TV, this is a great position for a veteran. A schedule with no weekends and holidays off? These hours are basically unheard of in TV. If you would like to try your hand at a positon in the school system, Durham Public Schools is hiring. Good Luck!

Freelance Writing
There are many opportunities for writing on the web nowadays. There are huge content mills that will pay you a small amount per article. Despite the criticism, these are great places to get your feet wet in the world of writing. Don't mistake this for journalism. I think web writing is in a class by itself. You can find opportunities that are akin to true journalism or just content to fill a website. Either way you can get paid for writing both. It is up to you which one you will do. Reputable newsmakers are getting into the game of web writing. Online content is hot right now. Knowing terms like SEO and twitter can make you more marketable. College students, housewives and freelancers can earn some great cash writing for the web. I am taking a break from an assignment of my own to write this blog post. I posted a few opportunities below. Good Luck, I’ve got to get back on the grind.
