Agony Aunt - Article writer, please help!?

Question

I love to help people and people i've met throughout my life, say that i am good with helping people with their problems. My dream was to be a firefighter but with my asthma i was unable to do that and as it comes easy to me to help people/wanting to help people, the next thing came to me was being an agony aunt.

So does anyone know how to get into this sort of career, and what type of qualifications i would need for this job? Something like to work in a magazine and have an article or something of the sort.

Anyone?

Answer 1

well lets face it, you did ask for these comments.

Answer 2

What you need is experience,You can read as much as you like on a subject and pass all the exams going,

but if you have'nt been there, done it and lived through it,

I doubt any thing said to you on any subject will mean much. Other than words!

Answer 3
