GREAT JOBS

 Everyone hopes to have a great job.  One they enjoy, that is satisfying and rewarding.  I went through a whole host of dreams when I was young - mostly work having to do with sports.  Being a player seems awesome.  If you're not an elite athlete, you might hope for coaching.  If that doesn't work out, how about sportscasting.  That would have suited me immensely but . . . let's don't cry over spilled milk.  I figured out how someone could get on the track to becoming a sportscaster much too late in life.   So, for any of my readers still in formative posture, here is an almost surefire method.  It is amazing.

I offer a list of graduates from Syracuse University - these folks went through what is now the broadcast and digital journalism program in the Newhouse School; specifically in the Sports Media and communications track.  Enough, you'll see what I mean.

Marv Albert -  he's worked for most of the networks

Bob Costas - noted for MLB Network and NBC Sports

Mike Tirico - you see him everywhere, currently with NBC Sports

Dick Stockton - Fox Sports and Turner Sports

Okay, I found dozens more but I'm tired of typing.  You get the point.  Syracuse is the cradle of sportscasters.

Enjoy the snow in SW Ohio!
