    I have an A.A. degree in Liberal Arts. Had to have something to show for two years at the community college. It's more a general degree than anything.

    Working on my B.S. in Industrial Engineering---for those of you that don't know, it's more of the business oriented side of engineering. Helping companies become more cost effective and stuff like that. I may go for my M.S. after that, not sure yet.

    Most likely broadcasting. Haven't done a ton of stuff looking at college because I'm pretty set at where I want to go (UNO).

    Actually it depends on a lot of things. When I was in Sports Management it meant you were qualified for anything that incorporates Sports and Business. In fact, when I first graduated I was an Assistant Manager at a golf store and made $60,000. If you go immediately to a professional organization you will start off around $20,000-$25,000. After several years of working your way up the ladder you could eventually be in line for the General Managers position, and make a cool $2 to $5 million dollars.

    Don't make it sound so easy Bipster. You just don't get a job that easy as a general manager. You have to be able to know the sport.

    I've looked into the whole becoming a ageneral manager thing. Talking to scouts, talking to people who've been around scouts. Even talked to people up high in professional organization. The #1 thing they told me was to get myself involved into the sport as much as possible, before even thinking of joining a professional team. Not to mention, you can go up the ladder two different ways. Being a scout or the business side. Business side won't always land you as a general manager, so I think you may want to go up as a scout if you for sure want to be a GM. Another thing, the field of scouts are pretty big, so you have a lot of people to fight jobs for. For business, you best have a great resume or you won't get an internship.

    Several years? It takes people into their 40s and 50s to make it as a GM. Their are special cases like a Theo Epstein or such that make it quite young. I'm not familiar with their stories, so I really couldn't tell you.

    I think anytime you are making a relatively short post and illustrating the low end possibilities along with the high end possibilities, it will sound easy. I think everyone here should be smart enough to know that you don't just one day become the GM of a team.
