but to get to that level, you have to apply yourself, AND apply for the lower-level positions, and work your way up.
it helps living and growing up in the media center of the world.
BTW, how many ultra-orthodox Jews in your list?
and 6'5''-plus won't get you to the big leagues if you haven't practiced basketball in high school and college. maybe if you're lucky AND talented you can skip college. (or really really lucky; i am not much on sports stats.)
