And what is really sad is, if they do make it in the NFL, very few think about putting away their money and saving it and investing some of it for the future. There is a better chance of making and keeping really big money if one makes it in the NBA or baseball, but as your numbers show, how many students can realistically count on that happening? Not many.I am in a political science class where last night the instructor reminded the students that "the one thing that can never be taken away from you is your education." For probably a third of the students, that instructor might as well have been talking to the wall. Youth and invulnerablity and all that. Oh well, I shouldn't point fingers. I felt the same way at 19 or 20. It's part of why I am back in school today!
Take care and have fun!
