First, teach for just two years. Then, if you want, go back to your original plans. What you lost on the traditional ladder to success you've gained in experience. You can still recuit at age 25 and you can still be a journalist. Be creative...

Dunne is a journalist and novelist who, with his wife Joan Didion, another producer of stinging reportage and fiction, pays the family bills by writing movie scripts. Among those that made it to the cineplexes in one version or another are the Barbra Streisand remake of A Star Is Born and the Robert Redford-Michelle Pfeiffer showcase, Up Close and Personal...
