Does anyone know the career path and requirements to be a Political Correspondent for 24hr cable news?

Question

I am currently a college student double majoring in Political Science and History, technically I am aiming to be an attorney. But my dream job in life is to be a Political Corespondent for CNN or MSNBC. I was wondering if anyone had any advice how to go about making my dreams come true.

Check out the Newhouse school at Syracuse University and go after a MA in Broadcast Journalism.  They're one of the best and are highly regarded in the broadcast field.  I'm a SU alumna and I constantly find my friends on the tv in anchor spots.
