[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Know a kid making $55k with a masters degree in business and works in the industry. Athletes make all the money. In house staff make nothing.[/quote]

OP, this is the most important comment.  Any "sexy" industry knows it can attract talent due to the attractiveness of the industry and not the pay.

If you work for a pro sports team, [b]only like 10 of the staff of hundreds make any real money.  The senior coaches, the GM, and other senior execs can do well[/b]...nearly everyone else is making chump change.

This is not one summer of being an unpaid intern, but rather many years of being significantly "underpaid", so understand that you are in for potentially years of your kid having little to no money.[/quote]

And a lot of those positions are given based on nepotism (find me a head coach not stashing idiot kids or nephews on their staff) or will go to former players or will come with ownership from their other businesses. [/quote]

The nepotism is very real but it is mainly from team ownership connections, not head coach or former players. [/quote]
