My husband told me that many of these college kids who play basketball now (we're watching March Madness) are getting paid thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. Wow! I don't think the girls get paid that much; otherwise, I would have serious career regrets. When I joked with my husband about why he's in banking rather than basketball, he didn't seem to find it very amusing... 🤔😂 do you have any career regrets?

College athletes, especially the basketball players are not paid a salary to play basketball. It’s actually legal to pay college athletes. Anything some of them if they make it big enough or have a big enough name can sell their name like on jerseys and stuff and make money that way, and some of them make decent money, but that’s pretty rare and only the top players get that There’s actually a lot of study showing that college athletes are living in your poverty conditions because they’re not getting paid and they can’t work because they play basketball or football all the time

Wow I did not know that! It makes sense, especially if they make a lot of money but spend it all immediately without saving it or investing it. I do agree we need financial literacy in schools!

Haha no career regrets here, although I have to say it must be nice to get paid six or seven figures to be playing basketball as an 18-year-old. My college experience would have looked a LOT different if I had been 😂

Parents agreed with a behavior plan - he thinks it’s a game. Parents say he is not allowed to be this way at home.
