Why I want a job working for a magazine:

So basically, the reason that I started this communications and media course is because I want a job working for a magazine. 
As long as it's some type of girlie magazine, I don't care which one I work for, just as long as I do.
The reason for this is the fact that I, number one, have always loved flicking through and reading magazines, and number two, feel that if I am to be stuck working for at least the next forty-or-so years of my life, I want to be doing something that I enjoy.
All of my previous jobs haven't been jobs that I hate, but they were certainly not jobs that I enjoyed.
When I decided that I wanted to work for a magazine, I decided that I wanted a job that I could, if not look forward to, at least not mind spending the majority of my time doing each day.
When I thought of magazines, I instantly thought fun. Meeting new people, photo shoots, celebrities, product launches, free samples, that kind of thing.
Don't get me wrong, obviously I understand that it's not all glitz and glamour, and I will actually be working, and working hard, but I do actually enjoy hard work when it's something that I am interested in.
In a job I am not happy unless I am working towards a goal and learning as much as I possibly can. In all of my previous jobs, there was no room for promotion once I had learnt everything that there was to learn, and was therefore, stuck doing the same boring, mundane, repetitive tasks each day.
Another thing that I never liked about my previous jobs was the fact that I never found myself working with like-minded people. In fact, at my previous job I was only working with two other people!
Don't get me wrong, they were both nice ladies, but there was at least a twenty-year age difference between us! 
Again, not that I mind working with older people, but it would have been nice to work with at least one younger person, someone that I could possibly spend a few weekends hanging out with?
For now, I am working towards my goal by putting one hundred percent effort into my communications and media course, and am hoping to get distinctions in EVERYTHING!! 
I think I can do it... ;)
