What to do??

I can relate to the dilemma you are in and I really like the way you are thinking through on all the options before you could narrow down to the one that suits you best.

Environmental Science and Athletic management are two varied and diverse career options, Below are some points that should help you in making a wise career choice

Environmental Science or Scientists
Careers in Environmental Science are so varied it is difficult to consider them as one category. You could end up working from home most of the time or traveling around the world on an annual basis. You could be doing desk work, field work, or some combination thereof. Your focus could be mathematical, physical, or written. Of course the majority careers in Environmental Science are some blend in-between.

Environmental scientists are problem solvers. They use their knowledge of earth's systems to protect the environment and human health. They do this by cleaning up contaminated areas, making policy recommendations, or working with industry to reduce pollution and waste. They may also investigate the source of an environmental or health problem, and devise strategies to combat it.

Their Typical job would include
- Develop research methods and systems that are best fit for the chemicals and environment that are being researched
- Use observations, samples, and specimens to collect data
- Review current scientific literature on an ongoing basis to stay abreast of developments in the field
- Record and store observations, samples and specimens in the lab and in fieldwork
- Develop systems to better analyze data
- Present research findings to internal and external stakeholders through a variety of media channels
- Communicate with senior scientists and administrators through formal and informal reports

As a Career
Environmental scientists often begin their careers as environmental technicians or research assistants. These professionals can work their way up to supervisory positions over time. Eventually, they may be promoted to program management or research positions. Other environmental scientists and specialists leave the private sector to teach or conduct research as faculty members in academia. Graduate study is often required for advancement, as well as academic positions.

Athletic management
Field of sports management provides sports minded people with a head for business opportunities for exciting careers in the world of athletics. Sports management professionals work as team managers, athletic directors, sports agents and recruiters, marketing and PR professionals.

People who work in sports management are interested in both sports and business. In school, sports management professionals learn about finance, marketing, law, and business as they apply to the world of sports. After completing their education, graduates can work in amateur, collegiate, or professional athletics in just about any type of sport and often find jobs as managers, scouts, coaches, and marketing and public relations specialists. Its a great career option as Sports management industry generates hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

Their Typical job would includes
- Unlike the work of professional athletes. As the professionals behind the scenes
- they don’t spend very much time in the spotlight. Rather, they are busy taking care of business-related activities,
- such as making deals or negotiating trades. People who coach spend more of their time actually working with players, and are often interviewed by sports networks.
- Agents spend a lot of their time scouting for players to sign, representing their clients’ interests, and helping them get drafted.
- Those in sales and marketing focus on how to make their company money – whether that’s advertising their sports apparel products or selling season ticket packages.

As a Career
Although sports management professionals make a variety of salaries along a spectrum, one thing is for certain: you aren’t likely to make more than the athletes themselves! That being said, just because sports management professionals won’t make millions of dollars doesn’t mean they can’t live comfortably.

I would like to conclude by saying Success in any career is relative, its you who define it - One should always "love what you do and do what you love"

Best advice I can give you is do what you love. Worst think you can do is work at a place that you hate and send tons of money on a degree that you don't end up using.

Do something which you like and good at .
