There are few jobs that require _only_ writing skills. Most jobs will want _effective_ writing for some _specific_ purpose, which requires specialization. - Journalism - Technical writing. - Translation. (Including academic, technical, or medical translation.) - Copywriting. - Publishing and publishing services. Within each of these fields, there will be different approaches and frameworks; you might be able to freelance or seek a permanent position; you'll find particular areas of expertise and specialization; different positions will carry different nuances and different responsibilities. Once you've got some training and/or experience in your particular field, you'll get a much better sense of what your options are. Even simply choosing your focus will help you figure out what to ask, and find the most relevant people to speak to.
