The results of the Interest Inventory Machine say that I
should probably consider being a weekly newspaper or magazine reporter.
I agree with the
Interest Inventory Machine because I have always enjoyed writing and the written word as
far as news goes. Writing for a magazine
or a newspaper is what I see myself doing and possibly pursuing as a career. I also would prefer weekly deadlines as opposed
to daily deadlines, that way you can get your work done with more time to make
it the best that it can be. The Interest Inventory
Machine said that I should write for a weekly newspaper or a magazine; I think
because magazines usually have longer stories, which means the deadlines would
be further apart than most newspapers.
