[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]Some of us don't want to raise nerdy kids that sit at home all day watching Jeopardy and reruns of its academic[/quote]

Nerds have gotten a lot hipper since you beat them up in high school.

(Seriously -- yeah, the person who derailed this thread is a Grade A troll, but I'm sure that person is laughing hysterically at this response.)

[quote]my kid who recently graduated and played D1 is making 80k a year. How many "professional" soccer players are making that? Her company is going to pay for her graduate school and by the time she is done with that will be making around 120k, ad din the cost of grad school there might be 1% of all "professional" soccer players who will make the same as she has made in the next 4 years.

Very few like less than 10 worldwide make over 100k. I will stick with using soccer to get into a great school.[/quote]

On a related note, don't go into journalism.

(To be picky, most if not all of the U.S. national team makes six figures even before bonuses. See http://media.philly.com/storage/philly/tannenwald/20160204_ussf_vs_uswnt_initial_filing.pdf -- Exhibit D. And the average salaries at Lyon and PSG are well north of six figures -- see https://www.globalsportssalaries.com/GSSS%202017.pdf for the rundown. But that just means the number of women's players making six figures is ... maybe 50? Still pretty small. And yet I know people who went to really good schools who continue to play in the NWSL in their 30s.)
