About Roy Berger
The plan didn’t go exactly the way I thought it would, which, they tell me, is why they make erasers. Or these days a delete button.
After graduating from the University of Miami in 1974 with a degree in communications and a resume that included being sports editor and editor-in-chief of the award winning school newspaper, the Miami Hurricane, I was certain I’d be headed back to my native New York to cover the Rangers, Knicks, Jets or Yankees for either the New York Daily News, Post or Newsday. Who knows, maybe if I was really lucky, the staid New York Times would be hot on my trail, too.
Turns out the big problem was I perceived my skill level to be much higher than the sports editors in New York who did the hiring. Not even a nibble.
