A Career in Sports Management

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Alright so I posted this is the business major section, but I'd like to post it here also since there may be someone who can help me out.</p>

<p>Anyway, I'm here because I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting into Sports Management specifically becoming an agent. I understand that jobs like this are not for everyone and it is very hard to be successful especially during times like these but I am a very determined person and I believe I possess the skills to succeed.</p>

<p>But I could really use some help on things like good schools, and just any other tips that anyone could give me to get started in a career like this. I don't graduate high school until next year so I still have some time to do some research. I will admit I haven't really looked into anything until recently but I have been thinking about a job like this for quite some time.</p>

<p>All replies are appreciated.</p>

<p>If you actually want to become an agent, I wouldn’t major in sports management. I would get an undergrad degree in finance and then go to law school afterwards. I have a degree in Sports Management and there weren’t many classes I took that would help out with becoming an agent. Agents are lawyers who work in sports, they aren’t sport managers.</p>

<p>guy above is right. imo sports management is so concentrated and narrow of a degree that it probably is not worth it to get unless you already have another real degree. </p>

<p>like kwigs said about sports agents, the same principle may apply to front office of sports teams. i doubt any VPs of the washington redskins majored in sports management.</p>
