Eat My Way to the Top? How Do I Start?

I can't wait until tomorrow to put up another post. This came to mind and I have to write it... How does one become a Food Critic? More importantly a PAID Food Critic? I am VERY big into texture and taste and consider myself pretty good at critiquing food... I would LOVE to visit new places, try their menus out... and report to the public whether to waste their time & money on it, or to run, not walk to get there ASAP. And I love reporting things to the public via the Internet... must be why I have 2 blogs and about 5 websites... I start a new one each time I think of an idea... hmm so maybe that is how I can start... create a new website... but then what? That's the easy part. How do I get it to some acclaimed people... and eventually into the hands of someone that will pay for my efforts...? And if I post it on a website... why would someone pay me?? Or is that just a stepping stone? How did Rachel Ray start the ... on $40 a day show? Was she already on TV cooking? ... Or how did Al Roecker start?
