I am contacting you because I have a strong passion and research interest
in popular culture.  I am specially interested in Gen-Y trends, TV/Media
culture, and evolving social norms.  I know if I wanted to study these
topics, I could find a program that is doing this type of research, and go
back to school for a PhD.  However, I am contacting individuals who share
this passion for pop culture because I would like to get some advice about
career opportunities outside Academia.  I have been thinking outside box
trying to figure out what kind of industries and positions will allow me to
combine my pop culture and research interests.  I have been thinking about
careers in marketing research, journalism, and even writing, but I would
like to hear from people who research pop culture to see if they have any
other suggestions.  I appreciate your time, and I thank you in advanced for
your help.
