Future and Footy

I cannot begin to explain how much I have not only benefitted, but learned from my experiences of blogging on the worldwide web. In writing about two topics which I am extremely passionate about, I was able to explore areas and gather information from intriguing realms. Academically speaking, my writing and research skills dramatically improved from the beginning to the end of the fall semester. I acquired an abundance of knowledge about the financial side of football, a topic that I previously overlooked. By striving to make each and every post more enlightening, engaging, and entertaining, I hopefully portrayed a sense of knowledge and ultimately, passion. In regards to my occupation, the ideal plan is to go abroad to one of the thousands of clubs in Europe. There, I plan to evaluate, analyze, and even create adequate transfer prices for professional players. This type of work requires a superb understanding of demographics of players and clubs, projections and forecasting, as well as awareness of current and potential economic conditions. By including an analysis paper I produced in one of my Urban Economics classes at the University of Southern California, I demonstrate a rather unique ability to examine a specific area and report my findings. This skill is relatively difficult to master, especially in a number and graph heavy subject such as Economics. Through my paper, I believe that I exhibit a certain capability. I show that I have a knack for taking something that I am already extremely knowledgeable about and can present it with facts, figures, and evidence to someone that is not necessarily as familiar. For a major club, I expect to write and evaluate similar pieces. By showing not only my financial, but also my football prowess in my blogfolio, I hope to garner a great deal of respect that will one day translate into a very pleasing and worthwhile career. The artifact can be found below.
