Re: Sport Management

DEAR GOD NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, sorry, had to get that off my chest. I was a Sports Communication major in college, it's great while you're in college, you get to do all sorts of fun stuff, cover games, not study, etc...

Than I got out of college all the team PR jobs were give to journalism and communications majors.

Many of my friends in the sports marketing and management majors found the same thing.
My strong recommendation is to get a management degree, it doesn't pigeonhole you like a sports management degree can. It also doesn't preclude you from getting jobs with teams' marketing or other sports related work.
