2. Sports Studies
If you’re a die-hard sports fan, a sports studies degree probably sounds like a dream major. And it’s true – you get to focus on the ins and outs of the sports world instead of tedious textbooks. The curriculum is generally pretty straightforward, covering things like coaching, sports management, marketing, and facilities.
While it’s not an overly difficult major, don’t expect an easy coast to a six-figure sports gig. The competition is fierce, especially for coveted jobs with pro teams.
But sports studies grads can still find fulfilling, well-paid roles working for college athletic departments, high schools, sports camps, fitness centers, and more. With dedication and hustle, you can absolutely turn your sports knowledge and people skills into decent money.
