“Don’t let your silly dreams fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall.” My boy Jim James spit that lyric not so long ago and it really spoke to me. I always wanted to be involved with sports as a profession but now I’m not pursuing it in college. History is a fine major and all but can I see my whole career centered around it? Nope. But a life positioned around my true love, sports, is easy to picture. I realized I was slow, unathletic, and overall very poor years ago so being a professional athlete is out of the question. (My main man ‘Tino must have stolen all my athletic genes in Ms. Robinson’s class in 6th grade.) So that leaves an option in sports management. Talking with Pat Hicks at Treasure Island over great barbecue chicken sandwiches made me realize that this is what I want to do.
Do what you love. I hope everyone understands this concept before its too late. Life is about finding things that make you happy. Your job is probably the most important thing you will have in life besides family so cherish it. A good example of this is my father. When he was 12 he wanted to be chef and he decided to pursue it with all his might. He overcame the shit wages and work on holidays to get to a position where he can make a comfortable living. So through hard work he prospered.
I think if anyone works hard enough they can make great money in any field of work. If you’re the best at a specific thing then you won’t have to worry about making money. Not making money is a fear of many and they choose a profession based on how much cash they can make. I find that very foolish because if you can’t put your heart into your profession you will never succeed. So follow your heart. We are at a cross roads in life where we decide our future. Make the best of it and make sure to be happy with your decisions.
