Becoming A Corporate Blogger
I came across an article in the Wall Street Journal's online career journal yesterday which astounded me. It basically told me that the way in which I waste time right now at my somewhat easy and unchallenging desk job is actually earning some lucky sons-of-bloggers up to $75k a year.
My jaw dropped. Paid top dollar to blog? Impossible! But this apparently phenomenon is catching on. Top companies want a friendly face and a conversational tone to their otherwise cold, money-grubbing exterior. And that's where colloquial geniuses like myself come in quite handy. The art of writing in a conversational tone is, apparently, highly sought after by the pin-head, stuffed shirts in the corporate world. Yippee!
Now I just have to find a company dumb enough to hire me after saying all those disparaging things about corporate environment... Let's just get out the Yellow Pages, shall we...?

No really. I mean it. I want to be a corporate blogger. Who's with me?
(raises hand) Perhaps you should start with the Learning Channel.
You know, because she specializes in teaching us something new (almost) every day. They were the only place I could think of that does something similar and actually makes a significant profit.
Can't wait for tomorrow's little known fact "Clamato actually beats out the second leading seafood-based drink almost 12-to-1 in a blind taste test!"
