And I wasn't a journalist any more than I was a trained nurse.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to be a journalist.
Before journalism, I had worked doing medical aid work in conflict zones. Then, as a journalist, I had written about hospitals in war zones.
I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.
Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.
I couldn't have been the novelist I was without being the journalist I was.
I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.
Well, I don't know how astute I am, but I did want to be a journalist when I was growing up.
I didn't feel like I was meant to be a nurse or a secretary.
I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.
I became a journalist because one didn't have to specialise.
