Theme of the Month : Education

December 18, 2008 

December has clearly been the month for “Education”. A 2200-word piece on “Earning and Learning” describing part-time work options for students pursuing higher studies in US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand is ready to be published in a travel magazine. In yet another assignment, I was to work on a series of 8 articles relating to US on how to choose a school for graduate and post-graduate education, how to select a major, trade schools, hot careers of 2008, online schools vs local campuses. I completed a part of it before turning down the rest for whatever reasons (read: lack of time). There’s only so much one can do in 3 hours set aside for writing every day.  And I’m just done drafting another 2,300  word article on “Studying in Canada”.  With an overdose on studying, my head is spinning with names of Universities, tuition fees, statistics, visa regulations, and Ivy Leagues.  On the bright side, I’m glad this has been a busy month for writing. That ofcourse does not necessarily translate to a good paycheck.

Signs of recession impacting the publishing industry are all too evident now. I’m waiting to be paid for an article I wrote last December. And the number of unpaid for articles just keeps increasing month.  Hopefully, it will be a fresh beginning next year and finances will get sorted out.

    although online schools are good, i think we also need human interaction which we can only get from offline schools *’.
