My Dream to be a Muckraker Journalist

As me and my fellow class mates sat there and were asked again
"What job would you want if you could acquire the knowledge for it instantly."
Hmmm...
I would want to be a muckraker.
Not a real old fashioned Muckraker that cleans out stalls at a stable. No, I would want to be one of those not so famous journalists in the late 1800s early 1900s that exposed scandals and corruptions of mainly political people.
So I'm not saying I know much about it but it would be my dream job.
I would have medium length brown hair with red lipstick, I would be short but no one could boss me around type. In my early thirties I would be reasonably good-looking and fit. I would carry a pen and pad with me in my purse at all times.I would also carry with me an old Bible from my dearest grandmother that would give comfort in hard times.
Smart, fun, serious I would be a reporter of the news of my world around me to exposed the ugly truth with wit and charm.
Well we all can dream can't we?
