I really want to work for a professional sports organization–like an NFL team. What kind of job would be available to me if I went to college for business administration? Or is there a better degree to get?
I have worked in sports ( and I graduated with a BBA- Marketing) and I will say you can obtain any front office job with the BBA degree. However, to work in the NFL you will need to work your way up, and it is a TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH job to work in.
You need to intern with a lower level sports team first and keep on getting experience and networking.
There are lots of competition for jobs and because everyone want to do it your salary will be quite low. Like in the range of $20,000 and you make end meet by selling tickets to events and sponsorship ( even though your job might not be sales)
I am not trying to scare you (because this is a very fun job to have) but please do understand you will have a tough life. Also, you might have to move a lot from one team to the other. So if you can’t do that don’t go into this industry.

Marketing would probably be your best bet. Accountant is also possible.
