Freelance Jornalists

Is there such a thing?

Obviously there is.

How do these individuals sacrifice the mundane life of an average Joe Bloggs on a basic salary to becoming a self dependant fully focused Journo!

Firstly you can try and be clever in the way in which you write, take me for example. My writing is fluent and flows from the tongue yet leaves a lot to be desired, no heavy words and not too much detail is always a winner.

A graduate in Business Management I have done nothing more than regret my choice in degree. English, English literature, media, journalism........... the list goes on for courses I should have done but I'm left with a business degree in times of austerity and economic uncertainty which is never a good thing.

My main question is where to start and how to make a living in this field?
