Grad School

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Sun Oct 16, 2005 7:50 pm

I am working on deciding whether or not I want to go to grad school next fall, and if so where. I am interested in getting a GA position either coaching or working elsewhere in the athletic department.

My undergrad is in Sports Management, and that is what I am most interested in pursuing in grad school.

I have a 4.0 GPA at Lindenwood and a good combined GPA. I have not taken the GRE or any tests like that yet, but I usually do well on those types of things.

So does anyone have any school recommendations? Overall advice?

My other option would be to work, so if anyone wants to make me a job offer, now is not too early to start talking to me :P

Before you do anything, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."

It should be required reading for every HS & college grad.

the NCAA lists all their jobs on their website. there is nothing up right now, but there is usually a GA position or two up there.

Stay in school as long as possible. Be a bum. You have the whole rest of your life to work, and it sucks, even if you like your job! :P

I have heard good things about that book, I'll try and check it out sometime.
