Forbes Gives some Sobering Facts?…

On top of that, a significant number of college grads appear to be underemployed: In 2010, only 62 percent of U.S. college graduates had a job that required a college degree.
What does this mean? A low paying job that puts a lot of college graduates right where they left of after high school, living in their parent’s house (and most likely in the basement)!
Second: only 27 percent of college grads had a job that was closely related to their major.
This means working in a field that you most likely didn’t study and making MUCH LESS INCOME than you expected to make.[/text_block]

Professional Tennis Management (PTM)
Professional Tennis Management or PTM is where you get to follow your passion, TENNIS, and attach it to a number of different degrees at colleges and universities all over the country.
The tennis industry is at a point where there are MORE jobs available than there are people to fill them and there is a HUGE demand for those who have a passion and experience.
In fact, the shorter is so bad that our governing body (USTA) has created a special division to start more PTM programs across the country.
Not sure you’re good enough to become a teaching professional? Don’t worry, while college varsity players can pursue PTM, the fact is that 70% of PTM students do not play on their college team (And still land great jobs)!
PLUS… they gain the valuable experience that employers are looking for through paid internships, on-campus workshops and work experience at the university facility or nearby club.
When you graduate with a PTM Degree, you will have experienced teaching tennis, running social events and tournaments, stringing racquets, pro shop management, and you’ll understand how tennis clubs operate. You’ll be prepared with all of the KEY characteristics employers say they are looking for.

Without the top level connections that the program gave me, there’s no chance I ever would have worked at such beautiful clubs so early in my career.Ian Westermann

Best Decision of my Life…
Going through the PTM program was great preparation for me and my future career in tennis. Between my classmates, the great internships, and helpful alumni, I had an incredible experience that truly got me ready to be out in the industry.

PTM was the perfect program for me. I have always had a passion for teaching tennis but didn’t know what the next step was until I heard about PTM.

I was amazed at how many job opportunities I had upon graduation and now have my dream job in Florida.Matt McInerney
