How do I become a General Manager for a sports franchise.?
Asked by Nick
my dream job is to become a general manager, I am in high school and have a great enthusiasm for sports. What do I have to do to be in the path to become a general manager or another sports related job. Baseball intrigues me as I am strong in statistics and mathematical fields. I would not prefer my major to be sports management, as it would not help me if I took a path in Actuarial Science or in business. Does anyone have any good advice for me as I head to College?

Best Answer:
I admire your ambition. Since you have an interest in statistics and math, go that direction with your undergraduate degree. As a minor, you might want to study marketing or journalism. I understand your now wanting to major in sports management, but you might consider getting a master's degree in sports administration (Ohio University has one of the best in the USA.) Early on, seek internships with minor-league or college programs. That can lead you to a higher level fairly quickly. Recommended: read the biographies of the GM's of sports franchises today, and you will get an idea of how these people got there. Follow their lead. Good luck.

Study hard read lots of book gain lot of knowlege on everything that you can and you will go far in life.
