Does anyone have any experience as a financial writer/journalist? I initially majored in English before moving over to accounting. I'm now a decade into my career and finding it to be pretty soul sucking. Wondering if it might be worth trying to combine the two experiences into a job. But I'm having trouble finding information about how much a role like this would pay - $55k-ish seems awfully low to me. All insight appreciated.
