When I graduated from Quinnipiac University, I did so with a journalism degree; I wanted to be a sports broadcaster. When it was clear those jobs simply weren’t for the taking – or required moves across the country – I settled for being a sports writer. I had my own blog about the Rangers on Wordpress, had recently joined Blueshirt Banter as a writer, and enjoyed what I was doing.
After a few months of post-college unemployment, I got a job as a sportswriter for a local paper in New Britain, Connecticut. I spent a year and a half there, learned a few things, and saw a world that I simply wasn’t willing to invest the prime years of my life in (for reasons that we don’t have to get into here).
