WriterOdds of Hanging On

Odds are not the greatest. Even if you have success at the beginning of your career, there’s no guarantee it’s going to continue.

Even if you have a more secure job as a feature writer for a newspaper, things may suddenly turn bleak. In case you haven’t heard, newspapers are having their own troubles these days. If your newspaper goes under, so do you.
