Hey, Journ-O-Lists, welcome to the REAL WORLD that you helped create.
I know a guy like this. Went to high-school with him. He became a celebrated columnist in a large daily paper and was there for close to three decades until they went online-only and eliminated his position.
No idea what he is doing now but it very well could be Amazon.
Or maybe he's a limo driver. Lots of sad stories among those guys.
