For example, if you have a library somewhere in the center of the city, but it is hard to get into, you may want to get to know some people so you can get some type of buzz to employer about you. Same thing with any other job - just persist to your goal (and of course know when to quit). I believe that the best place to be a librarian is in college where you'll be able to meet some smart professors that may give you some wise word.

I actually read the book MediaBistro has put out for freelance writers. I'm hoping to join the site but when will depend on cash flow. However, I could use the alternative income I earn this month!
