You are a writer who loves all things that are considered nerdy. You love a good joke, you may play video games, even read comic books. You have all these great ideas and inspirations from the latest superhero movie or zombie killing series. You don’t know how to express your creative outlet. You think, “Where is there room for interests and writing like mine?”

Oh nerdy writer, you can go anywhere. When you go to school for creative writing or journalism, you are taught how to write well. You may even get to specialize in something and write about it. But where does that leave you when you graduate from school and you need to use all of these writing skills and creativity? Not as lost as you think. Here are the top five jobs that come to mind when you love a good laugh and can tell a heck of a story based on a little fantasy:

Joke Writer
Comic Book Writer
Video Game Writer
