Suppose there's a kid who is pretty good at baseball and is graduating high school. He's given two choices:
1) Accept a partial scholarship ( $3500) from a small University to play baseball for them.
2) Sign with a independant league team for $ 3500 a year...and the team would accomodate his college academic schedule into his team participation.
We're going to assume the following for sake of discussion...
- He'd go to same college either in either case, and the college is local.
- The quality of play is slightly better with the pro team, but the competition for a starting spot is also slightly more difficult.
- The kids main goal is to play and enjoy baseball, but has not given up on thoughts of a real pro career.
The kid comes to you for advice, and you say ????

Duh! Do whatever is going to have you meet more hot drunk college chicks. That's the real goal anyway.
Thanks,

1. which $3500 is tax deductible?
2. he's not on a level playing field if guys he's playing with in the independent league don't have a college workload and stress, etc. college is likely to interfere with his performance enough that it might hurt him and his chances in the independent league. of course, guys in the independent league might also have kids and bills an shit, so there's that.
3. college keeps something fun, fun. if he wants to pursue it professionally, than he should do so.
4. what Burt said.
Hot drunk chicks who can un-stitch a baseball with their tongue!
school will always be there... as long as your parents can afford to feed you in the mean time.
#2...
with the $3500, he can get plenty of Atlantic City hookers to rub his nob....if he can't find time for fat college chicks, you should give him advice on the latter.
wtf? and you lecture about local govt. & taxes?
First and foremost, take the steroids.
Or is that just assumed?
what burt said
First off, fuck Trdina.
Second, we know the answer to this from cycling. Take the indy league deal. He still gets to go to school, even if he did it at a reduced schedule and took longer. What's the hurry? If the financial situation is the same, and the indy league opens up more chances to pursue pro ball, then he should take that opportunity while he has it. School isn't going anywhere.
