Week 3 After High School

I have made the decision that I want to go to college already, but like all other incoming seniors, I am nearing the decision to choose which college I want to go to. I've researched many majors, and I have narrowed it down a bit but not enough. I know I want to major in one of these four: Statistics, Sports Journalism, Computer Science, or Business.
Sports Journalism at Indiana University is the ultimate dream, but the average salaries after graduating with that major are not promising. Local sports journalists make about $20,000 a year, and well-known journalists make about $50,000. All sports journalist dream of making it big, big enough so that they can be featured on sports talk shows on ESPN and other popular sports networks. Famous sports journalists are likely to write in cities with major newspapers such as New York, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles. They usually have a background in sports or have built connections from college to achieve their success. They typically are outgoing people, not afraid to share their opinions with anyone, no matter how extreme they are.
With a sports journalism major, many also go into sports broadcasting. Broadcasters make similar salaries to journalists, and really only can maintain a healthy living if they have made a name for themselves. Education is really not required, but would be extremely helpful. Building connections is key, and being confident and comfortable with people are required traits.
Sports marketer is another job that some people have after studying sports journalism. Journalists end up knowing the sport so well, that they are able to analyze the ways that they can advertise their teams and attract more fans to their games. Marketing is essential in sports, as all sports are built around the fans. Sports marketers typically make salaries in the $70,000 range, but marketers who achieve great amounts of success receive huge bonuses.
