    I am set to graduate this year with a degree in Business Studies from UL.

    I know it is possible to get in to LIT's masters programme in S&C with this, but would anyone be able to advise me if it would be a good idea?
    I am assuming I would be well disadvantaged coming up against people who have done the 4 year degree if we were competing for a job down the line? All help appreciated.

    Whatever about the 4 year degree, your biggest disadvantage would not be being a former professional / country athlete with the connections to get you a job later on.

    There's really only a handful of legit professional S&C roles in Ireland that actually pay a liveable salary.

    Anything by Lyle McDonald.

    Phil Learney's book is excellent too.

    If you get the masters and spend 3 or 4 years getting lots of experience working for little or no pay you may have a chance at a career at the end of it.

    If you just get the masters and don't put in the hours to get the experience you have no hope even with the 4 year degree.
