Alternative Careers II

We started this out in this post. Now we move on and read the story of a freelance writer who joined retail. Unlike the earlier idea this could actually be viable for some mediapersons in India, the only problem I see is the following - some 'mediapersons' are actually dumber than the average sales help in large retail chains - if you don't believe me please attend your average press conference.
Well, there is another problem, you know the one about the retail industry in India falling off a precipice. Those massive plans that we would walk, talk and shop Reliance remain plans thankfully - and after seeing the massive Reliance stores at Ambiance Mall I'm rather glad that they are only plans. If you have any other suggestions for what laid-off journalists should consider - as long as it does not involve kinky sex and/or blogging (or becoming a social media expert) - please write in or post your comments.
