That's always been the plan. Wish someone told me a couple years ago the degree is worthless though.

bro unless you want to work law enforcement or corrections... your pretty much fukked with criminal justice. I'm about to get on with the RCMP here in Canada with my criminology degree

I'm gonna be a freaking mountie brah.

inb4 will you ride a moose to work?

[shawty321]

Well there's basically 2 routes I want to go if I get my law degree. Work for the Fed or try to get into sports (agent, front office, etc). Sports is the real dream, but also seems impossible lol.

dude only way to get into sports is to start from the bottom. Don't feel awkward about being "annoying" to try your get your foot in the door. They can only turn you away so many times before they either give you shot as a jock strap washing bish, or call the cops

Where do I start though? I've emailed a couple of sports agencies for an unpaid internship and none of them even reply back. Not sure how to even get in touch with a front office gig...even if it was interning for the Arena football league I don't care lols.

Your best option is pester any and everyone you can. I would imagine all the people with sports related jobs got them for the same reason as you. Loving sports. You always hear stories of how they started as some random ******* and then they work their way into positions.

The one thing that discourages me is I always here in the sports world it really is all about who you know. I don't know anyone in the sports world right now.

Not to burst your bubble, but being a Sports Agent is EXTREMELY tough and you must network. You must suck dick.

Just send your resume to every agency near you. Network, talk with them, just w/e. Joe Nathan's agent is a Professor at my school. My friend took one of his classes and he told them how hard the business is and how you must network your ass of. It's all about who you know.

Fellow wannabe front office brah checking in. Check out teamworkonline.com. A lot of NFL, NBA, mlb , and minor league baseball teams posts jobs and internships on there. Most are in sales though. All you can really do is start small.. acquire degrees you want.. work your way up from sales or whatever.

As far as becoming an agent, I really don't know. I suppose a law degree and starting as a low guy in an agency or firm is your best bet.

If I could choose I would definitely do front office over agent. Agents are scumbags and I wouldn't wanna do all those dirty things to get to the top lols.

F*ck College.

Hate it, plus im not going to even graduate on time. So behind and f*cked up so bad my first semester this past Fall at Uni (transferred from CC). Been contemplating Trade School, but parents are making me get my degree or at least giving it another semester. They're old school in that you must have a degree.

How far are you behind? I literally took 6 credits, transferred, and changed my major 5 times and still managed enough credits to graduate only a semester behind. I took 18-21 credits every semester but in the end it was worth it.

I haven't even taken my core classes yet because im behind in math in which is the pre-eq. for most. I'll probably finish 1 year late. I actually also thought I got all my Gen. Eds. out of the way at CC only to find out I need to take another basic Science class...wtf? I could just take Summer classes, but I also want to take an internship and you can't really do both, can you?

You can.. if they offer it online that'd probably be the most convenient.

ok because I know people working for the bobcats and jags (strong franchises lol) and another friend of mine interned for the mets one summer.

2 of my friends worked at TD Garden for the Celtics, and another chick interned with the Bruins. They're actually constantly in the town next to me, at their practice facility.

They went to Colby Sawyer and Northeastern. The school set those internships up FOR them.

I know here you can do an internship for majority of a semester and then you have a one month break before classes start back and most of the time you can get a real condensed version of the whatever class you want in that last month. Its prob something you just need to talk to your advisor about. Or maybe if you really wanted to do both over the summer at once take a night class in the summer after the intern work but that would blow cock. all about how bad you really want it i guess.

And finishing a year late is no big deal in the long run. My advisor told me last semester is takes the majority of our business students here 4.5 - 5.5 years to graduate. As long as you aren't getting raped by student loans or anything you should be fine.

Email/approach your local colleges athletic department and ask if the football team need helps in any capacity. Tell them you're willing to do whatever it takes and are open to doing anything (no homo). Offer to help the video coordinator watch/cut film of practices, be a student manager, whatever. Then be prepared to work your ass off if you get the gif ie 5am practices everyday, laundry, etc. Check out a local college's athletics page and under the directory there should be listing of the email addresses of all the people that work in the athletic department. For big schools they obviously won't give out the email address for the head coach but the address for the football equipment manager should be listed. Shoot him and email and I'm sure he wouldn't mind the extra help, especially free help. Experience is experience

True.

I don't think i'll do both. If I somehow don't get an internship, i'll take a class in summer.

This is probably your best bet.

If you go to a D1 school you could maybe pay the players with potential to hire you as an agent in the future or give them free tattoos.

You'd be surprised. Drew Rosenhaus signed his first client while he was still in law school. Who knows what kind of shady stuff was going on
