I got a problem when trying to change the fontsize within a beamer-class frame.
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{First frame}
{\big Just some content}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
This gets me a "missing delimiter (. inserted)" error. What's the problem with this? I'm using the pdfLaTex compiler.
Thanks a lot!

TeX does give more clues, you just did not show them in your quotation above.
If there is a $x^{$ on a frame the error is
[2])
Runaway argument?
{title of bad frame} \begin {itemize} \item [Esophagus] Four columns \ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \frame.
<inserted text>
\par
You omitted the first three lines which tells you that
[2]
page 2 has been shipped out, so the error is on page 3.
Runaway argument?
It's a {} matching error.
{title of bad frame} \begin {itemize} \item [Esophagus] Four columns \ETC.
The start of the frame command (or environment) with the mis-matched braces is as shown.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{r|p{11cm}}
\emph{Jun 2010 - Current} & Soccer Player at \textsc{University of ...}, City, Country \\
& \begin{itemize}
\item An excellent forward and some more stuff
\item bullet list item one
\item bullet list item two
\end{itemize}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
