advice columnist
I would really love to become an advice columnist, no matter how crazy that sounds. I know lots of young hopefuls would like to be one as well but you know.
I'm just not sure how I would become one, would I need to take a course in something or what, any ideas?

Hey, that's not crazy at all!
There are a number of ways you could become an advice columnist:
-Start your own advice website. Mind you, managing a website can be very stressful and you'd have to know HTML and JavaScript very well. Not to mention have lots of time to update the website everyday once the site gets more popular.
-Become a journalist for a newspaper. Go to college and get a degree in journalism. Get a job at the newspaper of your choice. Work your way up in the system. And you'll be able to start your own advice column!
-You could send your resume to magazines and perhaps get hired to do a column that way.
-Start your own newspaper and run a column that way.
In the end, if you want to have a professional advice column, you're going to need to take some type of Journalism course, and maybe a phsycology course or two. When you go to college, talk to your couselor and ask people who work in the field for advice.

first you can start out by making an advice myspace or an e-mail just for that.
it may be easier if you are an anonymous advice columnist beacuse then you dont have to worry about it if people dont think your so great at first.
from there, just go with your instinct and tell people what you really feel .
hope i helped xo

If you're in highschool, join the newspaper/yearbook club. Take mass media or communications. Pay attention in English.
If graduated, take courses about newspaper.
Right now--you can start, if you haven't already, giving advice out on this site!
And no it doesn't sound crazy...why would we? We're advice columnists to this site =]
