Bullshit Media Jobs
Nothing makes a Monday feel a little bit sweeter than being allowed–nay, encouraged–to curse in a blog post. Stanley Bing, author of 100 Bullshit Jobs…And How to Get Them shares which media jobs were made for bullshit artist4s:
Media critic
Hey, if you can get somebody to publish your random thoughts on stuff that everybody has thoughts on, you’re really getting somewhere. This is to be distinguished from media reporters; as I will outline below, the job of reporting is far too lowdown in bullshit potential to be all that alluring for the truly ambitious.
Blogger
Bad money, but if you’re nasty enough, lots of power. Try to establish yourself as someone qualified to rattle on for screen after screen with no reporting involved. Several years ago, when I was writing for Esquire, I determined very early on that those who had to report on their subject 1) took a long time to do it, 2) had to talk to a lot of people they wouldn’t normally be interested in, and 3) worked too hard for their money. Consequently, I determined pretty much from the get-go to do nothing but spin out a fine blend of hostility, speculation and wind as long as a publisher would let me. I’d like to think that was an early adopter of the zeitgeist that now runs much of the Internet that matters
Ha ha. Bing sure showed those bloggers a thing or two. Wait…
