How do i go about becoming an advice columnist for a newspaper?

Me in thought... Asked by erasmus27 about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

How do I go about becoming an advice columnist for a newspaper? As much as I would love to just sit out front of a newspaper and spout random bits of advice to people, I think they would probably frown on that and I might get arrested. So, anyone...

have anything to go on?

I was actually going to suggest a bachelor's in psychology,
You might want to consider double majoring...
As for getting a job, just apply to a bunch of places...
or if you want to be more pro active about it...
You could start off at a small newspaper and give them some sample questions and answers, try and convince them that the newspaper would sell better with an advice column...

hmm. journalism. YEAH!!! then I could totally be like the papparazzi and harass famous people when they poop. Then I can write an article on how Mel Gibson eats too much corn. Journalism though? I think that would totally screw with me getting my bachelor's in psychology. Just a thought. Any other suggestions?

Thanks though.
