Default Re: Jobs in MLB, the pros and cons (a bit off topic I guess)

Kyle - I understand your wanting to get the JD/MBA if you want to be an agent. But, IMO, if you want to go the route of being and great talent evaluator and building a a contending team within a budget constraint, you are better off with an advanced Econ or Stats degree. The MBA type stuff you can basically teach yourself. Not true for the analytical stuff unless you are exceptionally gifted.

Yeah, I should have clarified - I might be interested in becoming a player agent as well, which is the reason I would go MBA/JD.

If I was thinking about taking over a front office on the managerial side, I would almost certainly look at an MS-Econ degree, since there's basically no way I could learn that on my own (I'm not exceptionally gifted).
