Otherwise you and I will be expelled from the forum like you were expelled from the Faculty of Journalism
Actually, there’s no reason. I have a good sense of what is not allowed and what is possible.
I didn’t say anything reprehensible.

You shouldn’t have been expelled from the journalism department
The course director came up to me, as I remember right now Slavkin said - well, you can see for yourself that you are not pulling your weight!
I say - well, yes, there is such a thing.
He says - write an application for academic leave and look for a job in the field of journalism. If you find and there is a record of this in your labor record, then we will reinstate you as an evening or part-time student.
And I, like Maxim Gorky, went into the public eye - I went to look for a job in the field of journalism. But it was extremely difficult to do because there were no publications and also because I generally did not know how to write texts.
But one fellow student, having learned that I was looking for a job in the field of journalism, advised me to go to the entrance of a printing house. Why do the managers of industrial city newspapers post announcements there? Indeed, there was a board with such announcements.
And I called one of them. Came for an interview. And they wouldn’t have taken me there either because I couldn’t write. But the cunning aunt of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper immediately recognized one of my abilities that I had almost since childhood - I had innate literacy. That is, at that time I wrote without grammatical errors and without errors in declension in cases, tenses and declensions.
Well, I saw these grammatical errors in some text. And this editor-in-chief hired me solely because she herself was tired of going every week to hand over the issue to the printing house. There, first you had to go and submit all the materials and then come back a couple of days later and proofread all the proofs. And if there are any errors, correct them using typographical special editorial characters that were written directly on the proofs with a pen.
And so I went to proofread the issue for almost a year every week.

But then I realized that this was a dead end and that I needed to move on somewhere. And he left the newspaper, but having first found another place.
