Riches Before Freelancing (Probably Not After)

So apparently the trick to becoming a gainful freelance writer is to win $2 million on Jeopardy! first.

Oh, well, if it's that easy...




Seriously though, Ken Jennings seems like a really cool guy. From computer programmer to Jeopardy! champion* to freelance writer...however you get there, just glad you arrived. Also happy to see he's using the money to enrich his life, as opposed to, you know, mansions and hookers and drugs.

Not that those things aren't similarly enriching.

* For those unfamiliar with Ken, he won 74 straight games of Jeopardy! in 2004 and holds the record for the most money won on American game shows. (He's appeared in others since his extended love affair with Alex Trebek.)
