What was charled dickens before he was a writer?

Answer 1

When he was 12, Dickens worked for about eight months in Warrens Blacking Factory, applying labels to bottles of blacking. After he left Warrens, he attended school, then, in 1830, became a law clerk at the offices of Ellis and Blackmore. From there he became a court stenographer, then political journalist. It was during his journalism years that he wrote Sketches of Boz and The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. On the well-established success of these, he became a full-time writer.

Answer 2

When he was about 12, he worked for less than a year in a blacking factory. At about 15, he went to work as a clerk in a law office (which he hated), then became a circuit court reporter. This is what he was doing when he began submitting short stories and sketches to literary magazines. As soon as Pickwick Papers was printed, in 1836, he became famous and financially secure enough to quit work and write full time.

Answer 3

He was first a law clerk but, by dint of learning a difficult method of shorthand used in courts, then became a court reporter. During that time, he began writing stories and sketches and submitting them (anonymously, at first) to various newspapers and magazines. When he discovered he could earn his living by writing, he left the courts and never held another job.
