Career Possibilities With a Sport Management Degree:

North American Society for Sport Management: The sports industry is one of the fastest- growing industries in America, according to the North American Society for Sport Management. Sport management is a field of study that focuses on the business aspects of sports and recreation. Colleges with sports management degrees often combine physical education, fitness, and kinesiology with business and finance, providing students with a wide scope of the sport industry.

New York Times: The number of jobs related to spectator sports has risen steadily during the last few decades. According to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 138,700 people work in the spectator sports industry, 9.8 percent more than in 2002.

Sports-Management-Degrees.com: The succinct way to explain the future outlook of sports management jobs is to say that the industry is growing - certainly faster than many professions in the United States. In the U.S., the sports industry accounts for more money each year than restaurants, educational institutions, and many other industries.

Bureau of Labor Statistics: Employment of entertainment and sports occupations is projected to grow 10 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. Employment is projected to increase by about 79,600. Strong demand from the public for more movies and television shows, as well as the increasing popularity of sports, will contribute to job growth for the entertainment and sports occupations. The median annual wage for entertainment and sports occupations was $42,010 in May 2017, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations of $37,690.

Businesslnsider.com: There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a college major. Salary potential is one of them. While this shouldn't be the sole thing that attracts you to a major, it is helpful to know which degrees pay off the fastest. In a study conducted by Glassdoor, Sports management is the 40* major to pay off the fastest. Median base salary: $43,156.
