I hate writing! Should i be a journalist?

Question

I have been working as a journalist for 6 months and I've never been so depressed in my life.

It is such a solitary activity. You just sit at a desk all day and write. It is driving me mad.

I am good at it but I can't stand sitting in a chair all day.

Do you think i should give up journalism or maybe try radio or TV instead?

Answer 1

If your heart isn't in it...then maybe you should just give it up...you don't want to be doing a job that's not making you happy..maybe you should do something that you know that you will be happy with. Hope this helped!:D

can you please answer my question?

When you are young it is the time to try different  careers.  If you hate it so much make a change before you are so  comitted it is impossible to make a change.

"I'm a journalist major too. Trust me when I say this, " you are a writer in training" Maybe your expecting too much from yourself because you may think everyone around you are so sure of themselves--and they really are not. Or maybe, you are a perfectionist--like me. I remeber when I first started writing for my college newspaper, the first story i did was on the Robert Mugabe(Zimbabwe president) being that it was my first time ever writing, I was so nervous and my editor was geting frustrated at the fact I kept changing the story around,because I did'nt like how it sounded. Well to sale a long story short, my first article was a complete disaster!!! I remember thinking that others would view me as uncreditable--and for a journalist I know once your labeled that your career is over. Though I was deeply upset, I began to give myself postive self-talk and I stoped rushing myself--and as a result my writing improved little-by-little.

But however, I wish you much success, If journalism is something you hate, then you can always try something new.And you don't have to beat yourself up about it either
