[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD loves sports and to travel, is a good planner and is looking to study something more hands on. Anyone have a student majoring in this field? We’re looking NC State, ECU, ASU, Colorado State and a few CA state schools that are probably impossible to get into. We’re in DC and will utilize DC-TAG.

At the risk of being blunt, those degrees are a total sham. They exist largely so athletes unwilling or incapable of doing college level work have something to major in and maintain their eligibility.  Your daughter would be much better off majoring in econ, business, finance, accounting, etc.  All of those degrees would still offer a pipeline into the hospitality/tourism/recreation industries and she would at least have a solid foundation to build her career on.[/quote]

Completely wrong, just because your kid is stuck behind a desk and my kids office is the grand canyon and makes great money and benefits working for the NPS.  A friend has a kid is at Elon in their hotel management program working at their on campus hotel as a junior and already has a job lined up after graduation and another family friend who used to play basketball at Harvard and got her master's and played at Maryland is working with the Utah Jazz.  total shame programs.  hmmmm[/quote]
