A job I would like to do in the fut

A job I would like to do in the future would be to work as a foreign
correspondent journalist. I’m somebody who loves to travel and loves to learn
about other cultures and the way they work, and also the history of other
countries and places around the world. So this is a job that..err... really is
attractive to me. I also really enjoy writing. It’s something I get a lot of
pleasure from, so that job would allow me to combine my interests in travel,
learning about the world and also writing. Now to become a journalist, you
need to study a communications degree and that’s something which takes three
to four years and can be done at a variety of universities both around Australia
and around the world. Ermmm....now there are some particular qualities I
think someone would need to do this job. I think being inquisitive is probably
the most important. You need to be curious about the way things work and
why they work in a particular way. So curiosity’s probably the most important
factor. I also think confidence is important. You need to be confident, talking
to people and asking sometimes quite difficult challenging questions of people
........ So I think having the confidence to do that, to be able to approach
people, and ask them things that they may or may not be comfortable
answering, is an important factor. I also think you need some level of
intelligence. You need to be able to understand the real reason why things
happen and to be able to analyse things in some detail.
