Room Snacks: Ask A Grizzled Old TV Writer

What to do after college?

Brandon writes in…

So, I'm graduating from an undergraduate film program in a year and a half, and am starting to experience the first tingles of anxiety hives around my gameplan to, hopefully, break into TV writing!

I know you've covered the roadmap to staffing overall, but I was wondering if there is a singular game plan for writers fresh out of undergrad? Is submitting to screenwriting contests or writing programs a great lane? Interning at production companies? Doing both? A secret or just as viable fourth option?
