Law degrees are for lawyers. Getting a law degree takes a considerable amount of time, work and money. So how exactly is it best?

Some people don’t want to be agents. For an agent, yes, get a law degree, no doubt, so you can negotiate contracts. But there are dozens of other jobs in the sports field that one can get training for with a SM degree.

I mentioned marketing earlier.

Don’t think for one second a typical, general marketing class is the same class as a specialized sports marketing class. Trust me they are not the same. Like I said, don’t believe everything you read on a message board. Think critically and find out as much as you can from multiple sources and then do what is best for you.

Obviously, the first step is to define as closely as possible what career you want. Then identify what skills you need to get that career. Then figure out what programs teach those skills. Then pray a lot.

One last piece of advice.

A general degree can be just as worthless as a specialist degree (or what pls called “narrow”). They both have flaws. Thus, it is best to combine.
