Stick with business. Sports Management is not what its cracked up to be. You have to work your way up to get to that level. Its a very gruelingprocess from the bottom to top and shows who's made for the industry and who isn't. There were a few SPM majors on NT. If you want info make a threadand ask. The answers might turn you off. You have to be on your grind. My school has one of the premier programs in the country and out of the majority thatare in the SPM program only a handful will actually be doing something sports related when its all said and done.

True, but minoring in it won't hurt him. Just know that if you want to make it in that field you have to get involved with one of the sportsteams at your university and network early.

True as well. I never discouraged him from pursuing SPM as a minor, I just wanted to let him know the real deal and how its not all Drew Rosenhauson ESPN. The sports industry is one in which you pay your dues before achieving true success. Networking is very important. If a speaker comes to your class,talk with them for a few minutes after class and exchange info. You might get an internship out of it if you keep tabs with him/her.

Why have I appropriated such an academic workload for myself? Well, simply stated-- the world is way too complex, and its inherent KNOWLEDGE is much tooprofound, to limit myself to just one school of thought, and one avenue of perception and understanding. Ideally, I would love to add math and some field ofengineering (simply because I'm becoming very curious of those fields) but my dad would honestly slit my throat if he found out I was planning on spendingmore time, than I already have, in academia...
As I've stated before on matters relating to higher education-- colleges, universities, and other arenas of higher-level academia should only be reservedfor those individuals seeking KNOWLEDGE with the sole intent of bettering the entire human condition via a holistic apprehension of the natural workings of ourworld.
That said, I think people do themselves a great disservice by going to college and "majoring" in one field, and one field alone. We're alltransient tenants in this very dynamic world. So while here, why not aim to assimilate as much as possible before that final eviction. Just imagine the amountof KNOWLEDGE that could potentially be inherited by future generations, and the amount of "good" that could be done with that kind of KNOWLEDGE,which makes the betterment of the human condition precedent over everything else.
But who am I kiddin'. Giving the choice between KNOWLEDGE and money, people would pick the latter simply because we live in an American society, and quitepossible--a global society--where material possessions trump all. So as soon as most youngsters matriculate into college--what do most of 'em do--theyclamor for the "money" degrees; which interestingly enough, more often than not, will teach you to "follow"and perform repetitivealgorithms, instead of teaching you to "think", inquire, question, and challenge all that surrounds you.
Realtalk, a philosophy degree should hold so much more weight than a finance degree. But as previously mentioned, or rather, as previously alluded too--we livein a society where money, and those none-essentials it affords, talks. Therefore, in our very artificial society, an artificial degree like finance (hope Iaint ruffling any feathers) will always be more coveted than a real, and academically archaic and distinguished, degree like philosophy.

I'm not a business major, nor am in medicine, nor do I desire to practice law. I do not follow where the money is flowing. But I am realistic.
I'm where i'm suppose to be and what I want to be. Civil Engineering.
People will not agree with me. Nope, it's not a kind notion. But believe me I am not alone. Please read comments on nytimes.com on the 24 and no jobarticle I previously mentioned. 140+ comments.
