Don’t all college attendees go to school to advance their professional careers? Why are college athletes always criticized for going early to the pros? If I was offered a lucrative deal before I graduated – I’m out. A college degree is chopped liver to some of these athletes when you compare it to the millions they can make playing sports professionally. Are we all just jealous that we cannot play sports for a living? Their skills are related to sports and colleges offer a venue for them to showcase their talents and build a reputation for their university. Think of it as marketing. It may not be the best system, but you cannot blame the athletes for trying to better themselves or their families.
You go to college and study insurance. You want to be a great insurance professional. The athletes go to college and practice, say, basketball. They want to be a great professional basketball player. If were one of the most talented insurance professionals in the world as a sophmore in college and somebody told you that they would make you one of the highest payed insurance professionals in the world right now…What in the world would you do? Stay in college? I don’t think so.
Before all of you go off into space on his topic, they get the money either from their parents (those lucky enough to have $10,000 lying around) or from a bank (legitimately) who loans them the premium based upon their future earning potential. Trust me – I do this for a living!
