Day to Day
I work at a government building and we have to protect medical information, so it'd be hard for a student to shadow me there! But if they shadowed me while I was blogging, they'd see me forming an idea, sketching an outline, taking the accompanying pictures, and then sitting down and writing my posts. Once an article is done, I'll make sure to go promote it on social media and in the groups I'm involved in. My blog is great because it gives me the freedom to write on anything that interests me.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Take all of the language and writing courses that are available to you, starting in high school. My grasp on communication and the English language has obviously been valuable as a blogger (knowing how to research and cite sources, analyzing other articles, etc.) but it's also valuable to just about any job! You can get trained for almost any job, including my job in the health care field, but if you don't have a good grasp on the English language early on, it's hard to learn that later in life.
