Letterman, Degeneres and the entry level job

Geez. I'm in town three days and no work yet. Yes, I'm being a little sarcastic but even after all this time maneuvering in and out of jobs in the industry, it's scary on the outside. The only thing for it is action, even towards things unlikely to pan out.

So I forced myself on Craigslist today and lo and behold, there's a job as a P.A. for a National Daily TV Show. Turns out it's for a group of comedy writers on the level of David Letterman and Ellen Degeneres. How do you like that?

At face value it's way below my level but it will probably be a lot of fun for whoever gets it AND a much bigger opportunity than it appears to be. Heck, I'd love to have it. I sent in 3 emails knowing full well they'll probably choose a 22 year old kid.

If you're a writer or love researching and developing ideas like I do, one of the best places you can be is working with a team of writers - even if you start out making the coffee and photo-shopping heads. Really! You learn a lot about writing too.
