Fox biz anchor talks about her passion

The Hartford Courant has a Q&A with Dagen McDowell, a Redding resident who became an anchor on Fox Business Network in September.
McDowell describes herself as a "business dork" who talks and thinks about business constantly.
In the interview, McDowell talks about the network's style and how she evolved from a history major in college to a business journalist.
Here's a sample:
About 14 years ago, after college, I moved to New York City. I figured I could find a job. I happened to interview for a job at "Institutional Investor," a magazine for the finance industry. I had great editors who taught me how to become a reporter. I was covering business and Wall Street and you just figure it out. I learned how to make sources and break news. I just enjoyed it. It was interesting because I didn't know that much about it and I was constantly discovering new things. It was complicated, but that was a challenge. It changes every second of the day.
