Doesn't like writing but needs the money

To the Marias out there, here’s a piece of advice you can use.

In this day and age, Maria, there's no such thing as free lunch. If you want something, you have to work hard for it. Know why? Because working hard - that people usually don't like - makes something out of you.

What you can get out of learning to write, yourself, you can use throughout your lifetime - and with immeasurable benefits. But getting money without going through the process of learning writing is just like catching vapor and putting it into a can.

Now and then, you'll have to be asking people to write things for you. What about when you apply for employment and are asked to write something? Just in the application process alone, writing skills are being measured. The ability to express oneself is one great factor being considered by most employers.

The earlier one learns how, the better.
