What are the working conditions for a journalist?

Hardly any that I've found so far. The job is extremely interesting, gets you out meeting amazing people and is filled with tons of little perks.

The only thing is you'll have to accept the fact that not 100 per cent of people are going to like you all the time and that sometimes, in order to cover the story fairly and accurately, you will end up upsetting a source (sometimes one you really like.) Sources aren't friends.

The general public will also criticize your work heavily at times, whereas in other jobs your failures are only known around the workplace.

But if you have a think skin, or are willing to develop one, the job is awesome.
