The things I know for sure are: I want to live in New York, I one day want my own business, I would like to pursue some sort of qualifications for a sense of achievement and I want to know what I want to do with my life so I have a focus like everyone else!
I was thinking accountancy or hotel management as I am good with people and numbers but after reading about the sports management degree at NYU, my head was turned by something I have never even thought about! I love sports but I realized that I love the business of sports even more, my head is now full of ideas about event management in sports etc and on the one hand I am so excited but on the other Im thinking is it a waste of time? Im 32 now, I think its fairly safe to assume a career in sports management/marketing is a very competitive one and I feel my age would go against me. Should I stick to the “safer” careers of accountancy/ hotel management or go after sports management? Are there any other career opportunities within this field or any quicker ways of getting into it? Am I simply too old?

It does not take a degree to get a hotel management job. The question is, why would you want to cater to people for the rest of your life. Don’t settle for mediocrity. You’re only 32, enroll now in school. A community college in NY, take classes that strike your fancy then go from there.

Both the feds (US) and state (Massachusetts and probably New York) encourage women to own a business. I would assume the city (NY) and county also bias to business with a minority or woman owner. You are only limited by your fear. What’s the harm in trying?
