I had the standard entry: a couple of unpaid internships after college, was lucky enough to have parents who could support me, and eventually I landed a full time role at a mid-size newspaper.

I also got very lucky at the time with an entry level job which included training on the job- I’m not so sure how I would even do it anymore!
