Stephen- Sports News Reporter

This career interests me very much, I am into playing sports, but I don't think that I am going o be good enough to go pro, I also always watch shows where they have discussions about certain topics/players, this sort of thing really interests me. I just decided about having this as a career this year, I at first wanted to be a History teacher, and when the History thing started to interest me less, i knew i wanted to be a sports news reporter. Charles Barkley is defiantly a role model for me, he does his job so well, and he also has fun with it while he is working. I hope to find out what colleges that I would be able to go to, I also would want to know if there are any courses that I could take my senior year in order to better my knowledge in something like reporting or speaking in front of others. I also would want to know the average salary that a news reporter would make in a year, also find out which stations that I could work for, like Comcast Sports, or ESPN, or NESN.

The most important aspect in a career for me is the stress level of the job. Going into this career, there are some people that do really get stressed out from a job like this, but since I am actually into this career, I know that my stress level would be very low, I would just be able to report, and write my stories with the least stress on my shoulders as possible. I would also like to have good co workers,it is always good to communicate well, if you are able to do that with people in an office, it makes for a good environment, which always makes a day on the job go good.

So far, to get to the point of Sports reporter, it looks like there might be some stress. First off, all of the Journalism classes that I will have to go through to be good enough to report on what I am most interested in. Also, money is not an issue, as long as I am able to do the one thing that I am most passionate about. It will be difficult at first, but once I become experienced in the profession, the easier that it will get. When I get into college and begin pursing this career, i will mostly be taking classes that involve writing, or classes that involve being in front of a camera. After I take my full year of journalism in my senior year, I hope to be prepared enough to be ready to pursue my career after high school, but college will be that little extra help to do better.
