If pro minutes never arrive, the degree remains. “Easy major” myths alone age badly.
Bottom line: pick a major that survives travel weeks—confirm with coaches/advisors. Sport and school are the same contract.
The degree is the durable asset
It funds the next career even if roster minutes stall.
Constraints first
Labs, practicums, and certification hours can clash with in-season travel.
Questions to ask
Tutoring, priority registration, realistic majors on that roster, risk if you fail a class.
Changing majors
Check rules and deadlines calmly; transfers need a credit plan too.
