I got hired!
The guy who needs Ezine articles hired me and two other freelancers to write articles that use “optimized keyword phrases” for websites that need more visitors.
EEK!

Hi Lucie–I don’t have a degree and I currently make my living as a freelance writer. That said, I did attend numerous writing courses and seminars when I could afford them (workign fast food jobs) and I boned up quite a bit on the subject. I didn’t have the money to go to school but I didn’t let that be a deterrent. You can get on at ground level with internships at certain companies, some paid, and learn valuable skills that are just as important as any degree.

Good luck and God bless!

@ Lucie: It is possible to get a job as a writer without a college degree. I don’t have one; I have a diploma from a two-year program at a community college in Office Administration.

Deb discussed this idea in a past post. You can check it out here:

Hi,
I am new to this web-site and I was wondering, are there any jobs out there for those of us who have skills but have not gone to college and have no degrees, ect…? I am self-taught in many areas but I do understand some jobs need certain requirements. Thank you

Website is nice but can’t read the links. Orange does not work. It actually hurts my eyes! Anyone else?

Really like the new site. More unisexual. One thing: the visited links don’t turn a different color, which is pretty helpful when coming back day to day.

I love the new layout, Jodee! Very professional looking. When I clicked on, I thought I had gone to the wrong site… then I saw the “candidate posts”!!
