Career Path Of Becoming A Sports Manager
Sports media has changed the way sports are viewed today. Sports reporters live their job. They do this in order to give their audience concise explanations of their views on the current sports world.

I plan on taking the specified route, putting in time, and making sports a priority in my life in order to become a household name in sports.

The average starting pay level for sports journalism in Wisconsin is $17,890 per year, and $19,650 per year nationally (WISCareers NP).
