Journalism
Journalism, and writing in general, provides me with just about the ultimate in job satisfaction -- the opportunity to earn as I learn (or learn as I earn).
So whether it's an article for an IT mag on the role of the PR practitioner in the media, comment for a wine journal on the state of the wine industry in Australia, how to land a job by submitting a "creative resume", or even the chance to interview experts on legionella and "sick building syndrome" for articles for the heating, ventilation, cooling and business services industry, I thrive on it all!
