cARTOONIST
What exactly is a cartoonist? Well, a cartoonist is someone that draws cartoons, comic strips, and graphic novels. Almost every single cartoonist you'll meet, will have to use their imagination to come up with a different and unique story plot to grab the reader's attention. To be a cartoonist you should be creative, imaginative, artistic, self-motivated, and have knowledge of events currently taking place and the popular culture. The comics cartoonists draw are for newspapers, magazines, ads, films, tv, newsletters, and even greeting cards! Cartoonists are important for entertainment, advertising, or even to educate readers! That is mainly what a cartoonist is.
I should say now what most cartoonists' working conditions are like. First of all, cartoonists work for advertising agencies, newspapers, magazines, book publishers, greeting cards companies, tv & film production studios, graphic design firms, and even government departments! That's a long list! Some may work freely, or full time. Most cartoonists do their work in very silent design studios. These studies can be either at home, or an office. Some cartoonists have to travel for work. Comic artists may travel locally, or even nationally, to improve their cartoon's popularity.
Cartoonists normally do not have physical problems that go to an extreme with their job. Mainly chances of suffering from eye and neck pain from spending long long periods of time sitting staring at their drawing board or computer. The cartoonists who work for ad agencies and production companies work in a range of estimated 40 hours a week. Comic artists often have to meet certain deadlines for the cartoons they draw. The cartoonists who are self-employed, or work for themselves, can set up their own hours to work, but spend lots of time selling services to potential work clients or customers. This happens a lot with cartoonists starting out their career in cartooning.
Let's now learn about the educations and earnings of comic artists. First of all, to get employed you of course would need a portfolio! Portfolios have samples of the best work you've done that can be showed to people that want to hire you. Putting together an outstandingly amazing portfolio requires good art skill of course. You probably could put a portfolio together if you have a degree in drawing, fine arts, graphic design, or visual communications. Programs like the ones I have previously stated are found in art colleges across the country. These courses usually last 2 to 4 years! Some courses you can take in major cartooning or comic design. Lots of programs may offer internships ps that help you create a portfolio.
Formal education programs in art design may provide training for design techniques that are widely used in design and education. If you decide to be a freelance cartoonist, then you need you learn how to manage a business, learn how to market yourself, and manage finances.
Now, onto the earnings. Only a handful of cartoonists work full time but most actually work freely. This means they work for themselves and negotiate contracts or frees for each illustration or series of illustrations they do. Most are paid per cartoon. One cartoon in an estimate is worth $25 to $500 depending on the cartoon artist's reputation and the experience the cartoonist has. Some get charged an hourly rate for their work. Cartoonists may receive a yearly salary and could make around $25,000 to $65,000. This also may depend on a couple of things. It depends on who they are employed by and the artist's skill-set. Some well-known cartoonists that get hired full time can earn 70,000 or MORE a year! HOWEVER, there are only few positions open where this may happen.
Many cartoonists who freelance need a second job most likely to pay bills.

What do you think of when you think of a writer? I know what I think of but before I even start, let's establish a difference between the two types of writing, fiction and nonfiction. Fiction writers write about things that didn't happen. Fiction, of course, can be realistic as the writer wants it to be. Nonfiction is something that did actually happen.
Fiction writers can be of the following kinds of writers: novelists, poets, screenwriters, and playwrights. Non-fictional writers can be; journalists, technical writers, and copywriters. Non-fiction writers convey facts to readers. In all honestly, all writers use their imagination to come up with their writing to make it special, and unique. What the imagination is used for in writing is story plots and characters. Non-fictional, and sometimes fictional, writers research topics to confirm details or to double check if certain facts are actually facts.
A writer, like all people who work, have working conditions they should follow. A majority of non-fiction writers work for newspapers, magazine companies, radio stations, and TV stations. Others that write non-fiction may work for advertising agencies & public relation firms. Some writers are even employed by the government, businesses, & non-profit organizations. They may write manuals, newsletters, and more! Technical writers are writers I have not mentioned yet. A technical writer is a professional writer who writes technical writing for products and helps people understand what a product is used for. Technical writers most times work for computer software firms or manufacturers of electronic equipment. Non-fictional writers and technical writers work mainly in offices of their employer.
Writers or course to maybe, possibly, get a good pay, would need good education. The non-fiction writers who get salaried, need a degree. Their employer scans all over them because professional employers want good educated people. Most of those employers look for degrees in English, journalism, or communications. Non-fiction writers are also supposed to know what kind of industry they are working in when they get employed. An example of this would be, most who produce materials for banks and other financial organizations should know about financial products and how they work.
Fiction or creative writers aren't exactly required to have a degree after high school. HOWEVER, broad liberal arts education, including courses in philosophy, art, history, & classical subjects, are very useful because it may give the writer a wide knowledge base to look off of. Those subjects are also outstanding for ideas!! Writers also find it handy to take courses in creative writing. These courses are offered in most colleges. Including writers' associations.
How much a writer earns depends on a couple factors, including the type of writing they write and whether or not that writer works full or part time. Non-fiction writers are most likely to hold positions, where they earn a salary. Generally writers, including authors, earn a range of about $25,000 to $106,000 a year. When technical writers start out, their salaries are around $37,000 to $47,000 a year. Some technical writers that have been working for a long time, may earn around $100,000 yearly! Earnings for authors, playwrights, screenwriters, all depend on their ability to sell work to publishers and producers, and the popularity of their writing with the public.

Do you know what exactly a critic is? Well I do! A critic's job duties depend on what they want to criticize. They could watch movies or plays, reads books, dine out, or even go to fashion shows! All and every critic analyze good and bad things and elements about something. They express their OWN opinions honestly in a clear way. Sometimes critics can be very helpful. They may interview people also. A small list of people they could interview are authors, chefs, artists, or even tailors.
What kind of working standards do critics have you ask? Well, they can work for TV and radio stations, newspapers, and some work as freely as they like! When they work freely professionally they are called a freelancer. Local traveling is often very common for critics. Food critics spend their time trying foods at restaurants. Movie critics spend a lot of time in movie theaters. When they write and gather information, they most times work at home.
They do not face physical challenges in most critics' jobs. You see though, spending long periods of time sitting, reading, typing, or looking at movie or computer screens can cause eyes
and muscle pain, backache, and headaches. Critics also deal with stress from readers and deadlines. Full-time critics may work 8 to 10 hours a day with very irregular schedules which is a problem for families.
First of all, for a majority of jobs in this world, you will need education. To be a critic, you should have an education in journalism or your interest you are hoping to criticize. A very good example would be film. If you get a bachelor's or associate's degree in journalism, it would be quite helpful if you had an internship in a newsroom. The critic field is actually very small. Most do not live off only being a critic. Earnings for freelance critics are variable. This depends on the price they are able to get for their stories, and the number they sell each year. Many critics that work freely, which is a majority of critics, have a side job.
