Business Administration in the role of aPro angler
English Compisition I, II and III are electives you must take for most fields of study. Including Business Administration. Also, public speaking is a class that I believe is also a prerequisit. This isn't an english paper. It's a thread on a internet forum. I never understood why some people bash other's spelling and grammar on boards. I'm sure that if you cared enough to make sure your post was perfect you would have spell checked and took more time when you typed it. But you can here for advice, and didn't expect for everyone to rip your post to pieces. By the way, to the person that recommended you take some English classes as part of your Business classes. If he had went to college he would know that you MUST take English classes for ANY of the major field of study. Especially Business. I would be willing to bet that most of the people on here that have given you a hard time have yet to grace the campus of any University. I'm not an expert, but I doubt that the majority of Pro Bass fishermen have college degrees. Would be very interested to see a poll. I'm not saying you shouldn't thrive to obtain one, just I doubt most pro's have. From someone who went straight into the work force out of high school, then later returned to school to finish college, my advice is concentrate on school first. Once you graduate, if you still want to go pro. Have at it.

Business Administration in the role of aPro angler
I have a degree in Business Administration. It's basically the same as Business Management. One of the main reasons for taking BA or BM is the wide range of job options. Just about any job in the business world is open to you. Or if you want to start a small business, you have all the tools for success. As for a leg up in the pro fishing market...it couldn't hurt i suppose.

boating-weirdest/worst/funniest experience
Last year at East Fork Lake in Ohio, I was in line waiting to dock and there was a guy backing his boat and tailer down the ramp getting ready to launch. He stopped his VERY nice duramax diesel Chevy and got out to check something, when his truck popped out of gear or something and started rolling into the water. The funny part was instead of jumping into the truck and stepping on the brake, he grabbed the front bumper like he was going to stop it, lol. Hope he had good insurance.

Buying a boat (Seeing what yall think)
You can buy a compression tester fairly cheap and test it yourself before you hand over any cash. Just screw it in the spark plug holes and fire it up. Also, check the transom. If there is a compartment that holds the gas tanks and battery, look inside at the transom. I got burned on my first boat by not checking engine compression or transom.
