There are always jobs for writers and marketers, especially the good ones. They are always in demand no matter how many competing individuals there are for those jobs. Everyone wants to hire the best and the best writers indeed, well, they most often get the very best assignments by far. I had a friend, a coffee shop acquaintance that is a travel writer.
The SOB (I use that loosely, because quite frankly I am jealous as hell) gets paid to go on Caribbean Cruises and exotic travel destination then he writes about it and does his own digital photography too. Wow, you should see this guys screen saver, it’s filled with beautiful architecture, landscapes, sand beaches, and the hottest babes on the planet. Yes, that is a writer’s dream job.
But, the other day, I met an individual who was the speech writer for a famous politician and he got paid handsomely, and he was one of two speech writers, the other a woman, who has been doing speech writing for nearly 2-decades. Of course, it’s a very hard job, there is tons of data to go over, and you must be completely politically savvy, and understand all the political correctness demanded of our society these days.
Sometimes he’ll spend three days on one speech, then have to modify it based on the organization listening. He has written 141 speeches and variations on each of those. He also works with a PR firm and an advertising agency to make everything gel as they work on image building. He travels 25-days a month, he is on call 24/7 and he works on every crisis. Still want the job?
