Sports Administration. As of now, I have a spot open in a similar program in Seattle pending a third try at the GRE and a resubmission of my personal statement essay. Louisville and Norhtwestern have my transcripts but I've only applied officially to the former.

So given the acceptance of one school already, are you surely going to be doing master's work soon given your years of unsatisfactory experience in your current workforce? I know you've complained for a while about your work so I assume this is a no brainer, even with the expense of school taken into account.

It's a longshot of breaking into professional sports, but it's still better than working as some bank clerk or whatever HS diploma job that I haven't been able to get hired on as.

Just curious but why wouldn't you apply to a program with a known outcome for job availability? Seems you could be working your ass off earning a master's for a shitty job later?

Because I don't have the background for any of the fields that are lucrative at the moment.
