Studying Abroad – earning your degree in USA vs. earning your degree in Poland - PART III

Universities and colleges in the United States and England offer tremendous opportunities when it comes to sports. If you are good at something, you can finish your school for free or you can accelerate yourself toward a great carrier as a sportsman. Many people are able to attend colleges and universities only because they were able to get into that specific college because they were very good at a sport. First of all – college sports in the United States are something huge and they attract an enormous audience. Starting with basketball, through soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, tennis and finally ending at the famous American football. Many people who come from different countries to these universities decide to try their best at different sports and many of them succeed big time. After getting out of college and being drafted to the NFL (National Football League) even as early as at second year in college, students who become professional players can earn anywhere from around $150,000 to $1.5 million. However, where there is sport and money – there has to be rivalry and envy. It’s not that easy to reach the top of the ladder, but if you are really good at something and if you really love what you do – it is highly possible you will achieve your goal.



One of the largest sport broadcasting stations – ESPN – pays millions of dollars every year for their broadcasting rights and get the advertisement money at the same time. Therefore the big money wheel keeps spinning without even noticing such things as the latest economic crisis.



Questions for Part III:
  1. Remembering that a career of an athlete isn’t very long - what do you think about leaving school early for big money? Is it what we should be looking for in life?
  2. Would you like to try your luck in such a foreign university team?

  1. I would not leave my university to start my sport carrier. But leaving school for a big money in business is not so bad idea. If you have some idea for your own project, sometime, you have to sacrifice all your time for it.. Sometimes it is necessary.

    It's a bad idea. I think if you have skills for example in some sport, you can loose it for example in accident, and then you have nothing, no money, no studies..
