I have a friend who majored in Golf Course Management, and he does indeed run a golf course. It was in the department of agriculture and a lot harder than it sounds. Lots of classmates were ‘Mud’ majors, Water and Soil. Most found it best to add two or three extra classes and get 4 degrees, Water, Soil, Bio and Chem. Most of them work in forestry or in agriculture. My brother was a Sports Management major and runs a youth lacrosse league. There is a lot of computer work scheduling games and practices, but there is a lot of time on the phone signing up coaches, renting fields, ordering uniforms and just talking to parents. Outside work includes painting fields, setting up nets, hauling equipment. He sets everything up and then it will rain or snow so he scrambles to reassign things. Another brother (with about 150 college credits but never finished a degree) is a ski patroler in the winter, works construction in the summer. He is a certified EMT because of all his training as a patroler and could make more money doing that, but he likes the balance he has.
