So I’ve always wanted to become a front office employee or GM for a professional sports team preferably MLB. I am stuck as to what major I should focus on to achieve this goal.
Thanks!
Some schools offer a sports management major, that seems like a good starting point. I’d dig into each program and get an understanding of the coursework and areas of emphasis. Be sure to look into placement of recent grads.
Perhaps pair it with a finance major or minor.
Good luck!
Look for an internship with a minor-league baseball franchise. Often that is a way to get to the big leagues. As for majors, my husband works in baseball. He has degrees and econ and statistics. Some of his co-workers have sports management degrees. Others have business degrees.
I’d recommend looking up individuals who have the job that you want to pursue and check their degrees. A lot of them will be published online somewhere. If you see a couple people that stick out to you, try shooting them an email.
Thanks @arc918 @momreads @adamfromiowa !!!
