Was just wondering because I am not as enthusiastic about it as I was maybe a couple of years ago. I have generally been told that you should at least have a 'B' for Higher English. Well, what do you know? I got a 'D'. Relief was offered through the loal Press And Journal offices, where a reporter told me it's more to do with your portfolio of work - that means published works I presume? - than your grades.
If you are now a journalist I want you to tell me how you cope, because in terms of the ridiculous amount of committment put into the job, it's apparently not ideal for those with Aspergers who prefer the routine of sleep, work, play and not work, work, work. I can put up with little sleep and a lot of work for awhile, but I am not sure I could maintain it for a whole careers worth! What qualifications do you have, and so on and so forth.
This can also be for discussion between aspiring journalists.
Thanks.
