Baseball Facility Advice
Hey guys, I was hoping you could give me some career advice. I'm a freshman at a Big 10 school that places OK into Chicago firms, but that isn't the main question I have. Basically, ever since I was a sophomore or junior in HS I've been passionate about baseball pitching velocity development and if money weren't an issue, that it is without a doubt the career that I would be taking. So, as of right now, my tentative plan is to put my head down and grind during my early to mid 20s and live as frugally as possible (especially since I'm not in NYC) with the end goal of starting my own business/facility where I train HS, college, and pro guys. However, with the caliber of equipment and possible staff I estimate startup costs to be conservatively around 200-250k. Without worrying about qualifications, building a client base, etc. and only focusing on the financial aspect, what would you guys say is the best career path to maximize savings out of college? My first guess would be banking, but I just don't know enough about the career progressions within other fields to make an accurate decision. There isn't really a hard limit on when I have to accumulate these savings, but I'd like to have the business up and running by the time I'm 27-30. If I'm being delusional with these goals or am not taking something important into account (loans, for example), just tell me straight up, and any other advice would be great
Merry Christmas
Why not go get a job at Driveline, work for the best, and branch out on your own once you have a network/credibility?
That very well might end up being a route that I take (Driveline, Tread Athletics, Cressey SP, etc.), but my main question was the most practical way to save the funds necessary to start my own facility/business.
I literally did

the best route to do this is to get into a favorable income/CoL situation where you are able to save significant sums of money because you're making good money in a low CoL area. maybe this is being in bizdev at a tech company in Dallas or Charlotte where things are cheaper but still a big metro, maybe it's gunning for corporate finance roles in tier 2 cities like P&G (cincinnati), honeywell (charlotte), mercedes (atlanta), mckesson (dallas), and so on. maybe it's going for FP&A, but whatever it is, you need to get a good starting salary (have no idea what those are these days) in a low CoL city. you will not be able to save as much if you're living in SF or NYC, so avoid those cities and ones with similar CoL like the plague.
What about an IB role in Chicago? You can find some very good rates near the city- it obviously isn’t Charlotte in terms of low COL, but isn’t NYC either
You’ve got the right idea!
