[quote=Anonymous]DS plays a sport at a D3 college. He’s going into his senior year, and has a daytime internship in policy work and he hates it, and he coaches for a club in the evening a couple of nights and loves it. He now says that post-college he’d like to coach at the collegiate level and simultaneously get a master’s (in what? he says maybe IR, maybe business- he has no clue) at whatever college that is- I think one of the guys he is coaching with in evenings is doing this and bc DS is enjoying coaching so much, the idea appeals. DS says it can help him get into a higher level grad school than he might otherwise, and he’ll get grad school at least partly paid for. This sounds like a pipe dream to me - plus he is now entering senior year of college, isn’t it too late to put this all together to be lined up by graduation? Is this a “thing”? DS is obviously good at his sport but he isn’t a star on the college team (I do suspect he’d make a better coach than player). If your child did this, can you explain how it works to me? I’m concerned that DS is going to focus on this, taking time away from a real job search, and it isn’t realistic or useful. [/quote]
