What types of careers are there in the sports industry?
I know there are things like sports agents, journalism, etc. But is there a good market for other types of careers in the sports industries? People always say to get a career in something you love, and I love sports. It's something I am the most passionate about. I don't think I am cut out to be a sports agent, and I don't have much recent experience in journalism. So I am trying to think of other careers I could pursue. #sports #football #baseball #wrestling #sports-industry
