How long does it take for a sports management major to get a job out of college?

What are you looking to major in? Is this a sports medicine type question, and can you clarify what you are looking to do, so that I may help you find more information please and thank you.

It depends. I know people who majored in sport management who had jobs before they graduated college and I know people who are still looking for jobs in their field. If you are looking for a job right away, you need to be aggressive. That means connecting with your professors to see what contacts they have in the field. It means looking for jobs a few months before you need one. It means taking your academics and internships very seriously. It took me six months to find my job, but the average is nine months.

The sports arena is competitive but so are many others. Be diligent in your research and be open to opportunities that will allow you to gain experience and grow early in your career. This often means making some sacrifices such as taking a job with a minor league baseball team v. MLB or opting to work a limited term position to grow your network and background in a specific space.
