Day 105: What else am I good at?

Despite my passion for always wanting to know what's going on and desperately wanting to be the first to share that morsel with you, my mind has been wandering... What else could I do? I feel like this path I'm on in the news biz could get overwhelming or to put it bluntly, totally burn me out. But, after such a narrow outlook for the past 6 years, where to start?

My degree was more in writing than in journalism, but what do I do with it? Do I switch gears totally and pick a new path? Customer service? Sales? Healthcare? Or do I try to stay in the field, just a different area of it? I'd love to stay in television, I love the excitement of it, the day to day, minute to minute changes of it. But, I want to help produce a national program, or a syndicated show. The problem? Not knowing anyone who works in a network... There was once this AWESOME job for BRAVO, one I knew I could not only do, but excel in. But, 2 months after I'd applied, my online application remained unseen, my snail mailed resumes never got a response and my attempts at speaking to someone on the phone went nowhere... How do you get there? Ugh. Frustrating. And something to think about for the future...
