[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”20″]Their LOVE for tennis could be the answer to all of the sobering statistics about getting a job after college. Did you know you can get ANY college major and attach tennis to it?

A degree by itself can be scary when you’re looking for a job, but with TENNIS ATTACHED TO IT can be dream come true!

What if I told you that there is a Professional Tennis Management (PTM) option at certain colleges that will practically GUARANTEE you a job in the tennis industry right after you graduate. In fact, 70% of students have a job BEFORE they graduate.[/text_block]

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]

   HERE’S HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT YOU’LL GAIN:

[/text_block]

• A DEGREE: Get a normal College degree while studying TENNIS at the same time.
• PAID INTERNSHIPS: Work in some of the most desirable places in the country, making great money.
• CERTIFICATION: You’ll be a certified as a USPTA teaching professional upon graduation.
• 100% JOB PLACEMENT: PTM programs have historically had a 100% Job Placement rate.
• ​GREAT STARTING SALARY: Average between $50-60K starting salary. No living in your parent’s basement!

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”20″]College Debt is scary today. Combine that with the low job placement rates in some of the most popular majors and that makes for a BAD situation.[/text_block]

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”20″]Here’s some interesting new data from Jaison Abel and Richard Dietz of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. They find that the vast majority of U.S. college grads, work in jobs that are NOT strictly related to their degrees:

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 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.
