Just to clarify, I meant that David Young would likely use his "major" to play 
football.

I'm glad that these guys can't just major in football, even though that is the 
primary/sole reason a lot of them are in college. Most of them don't consider 
the fact that the odds are so stacked against them making a living playing 
football, but at least the ones that graduate have a chance to get meaningful 
employment outside of football if that doesn't pan out.

I would also imagine that having been a Gator football player might give them a 
leg up when their resumes are compared to their peers (assuming everything else 
is fairly equitable).

Darlene - that's great that your daughter is getting real world experience and 
looks to have the inside track to actually landing a job, post-college! I know 
of a few UF grads that majored in fields that getting employment used to be a 
given that are back home bagging groceries while waiting for a "real" job.

Darlene,
 
Thanks!  I meant nothing by my comment, but I was curious what one would do 
with a degree like that.  My first thought was like Steve's and thought "play 
football".  I thought there has to be more to it than just that.  Thanks for 
the explanation/story!
