    So happy not to be starting out in life now.

    If you really want to work as a journalist, consider relocating overseas to a country where English is not a first language. Local publications often require native English speakers for writing and polishing. You maybe able to work as a stringer for international papers that won't hire you as a full-time employee. You won't make much, but should be able to support yourself which is an improvement over your current situation.
