I might be forthcoming about my job if you told me what you plan to do in journalism...

Well, I'd love to do foreign or war reporting. My hero is John Pilger - I was beginning to get pretty disillusioned with the idea of being a journalist, until I read his books. He taught me that you *can* keep your integrity and be successful.

It's just my mysterious job involves a chunk of contact with journalists 
so I'm a little cautious....

Hmm, now I'm stuck. I'm intrigued, but want to be reassuring. I don't want to be no tabloid hack, that's for sure. I'm still an idealist - I've still to have that beaten out of me

:-) OK - sorry - it's just that people tend to jump to the wong conclusions when I start to explain my job - especially idealists! ;-) FIRST I have to say that I work in a non-party political, objective, genuinely public supporting role. I am NOT a civil servant. I do NOT work for the UK government or the Scottish Executive...:-P Have a look at posting 20: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F19585?thread=183948&skip=0&show=20
