What should I do after graduating college?

I recently got accepted into Notre Dame's Master's of Science in Digital Marketing program, and I have less than a month to decide whether to go or not. I am currently a senior at Eastern Illinois University and work as a creative media intern for the FCS-level Division 1 athletic program. My goal is to work for a college athletic department in marketing, communication, or student-athlete brand development. I don't want to be stuck doing content creation such as video and graphic design forever. I want to work at the Power 4 level eventually. If I went to Notre Dame, I would have to take out at least $50k more in student loans. I likely will be able to be a student intern for Notre Dame athletics social media, which is paid hourly, but I have not found any opportunities that directly help pay tuition. My other path would be applying for entry-level jobs in college athletics or other graduate assistantships, but those opportunities won't really be open for me until around January since I am graduating in May. I understand working in sports, especially college athletics, is all about connections, so I understand how valuable building a network at Notre Dame can be. Especially since my network is mainly just Eastern Illinois, which isn't at the Power 4 level and where I want to end up eventually. Plus I understand having connections with the Mendoza School of Business will be very helpful if I want to work outside of sports.

What did you do after graduating from college with your degree/major? Or how did you choose the path after college?

I'm currently a junior who is expected to graduate a semester early. I'm a communications major with an interest in sports/entertainment. My original plan was to do a masters for sports management abroad to get into motorsports. Now, I'm unsure what I really wanna do. I was originally a vocal student before college and thought I would continue with that.

Do I have a shot at becoming a GM in the NFL or any big positions in the team's front office?

I'm in 10th grade and I would really enjoy pursuing a job in sports management because I love football and basketball and want to work in the front office of an NFL team. Also wondering what another degree instead of sports management would help like law maybe? #nfl #sportsmanagement
