Some of us dream of becoming a sports journalist, a television producer, a television series writer, a fashion journalist, a weather journalist/presenter, a news camera man, a foreign correspondent, etc, without having a taste of the industry.
You might just have finished uni and looking for a kick start in journalism or come from a complete different industry, and needing a change of career.
