Are you Wonder Woman? No? Well then, get ready to let go of something. Student-athletes basically have two full-time jobs, which is totally exhausting. If your real lifelong dream is to become a tax accountant, you should consider playing D-II or D-III. You won't get the glory, but you also won't get the pressure or the insane training schedule. That leaves more time to crunch numbers.

If you'd rather be doing crunches than crunching numbers, well…we don't want to sound like a bunch of wet blankets, but this might be one of those times when you have to be sensible rather than self-indulgent. Your chances of becoming an Olympian are next to zero. Your chances of becoming a tax accountant are pretty good. You don't want to mess around with your future, do you?
