Impact Baseball Breaking News

Not as much the school these days but more the major

 

I didn't say NO bearing. Look at mt post and you will see that i said "My whole thing is a college degree won't buy you groceries or a house. You can't walk in and put your degree on a table and say I want a house. Many companies could care less where your degree is from, whether its from CPCC or UNC, having a degree is nice, but doesn't mean you will have the job. My brother works for BofA and he tells me they hardly base a job off of a person's degree. All they do is look to see if they have one and that's all, whether it's from UNC, Duke, Yale, SPC, CPCC. A college degree is great but in order to survive in this world, you need money."

If you find somewhere in that post or any post where I said it has NO bearing then please let me know.


Companies are more concerned with personal skills or how you interpret the data they provide for you instead of starring at your diploma because it says a certain school. Would you rather take a guy who has a degree from UNC that can't comprehend the problems or a guy from CPCC that can solve the problems? In the end it doesn't matter what school is on there, they select the best person for the job. If you show a degree it helps but its the person who can give the best interview or give the best results that gets the job.



But it is about the money...you want food, a house, a vehicle or paying to get transported somewhere, anything you want you need MONEY!!!!

 

Maybe yes maybe no

A quote
"But, a new college graduate will be measured by the name of the school on the diploma. America’s top corporations will all vie to hire from the so called top 40 or 50 schools. So, the answer is yes. It does matter early in their careers if they dream of sitting at a desk at any of the Fortune 500."

A college degree matters overall against a high school diploma. Type will put the school into play.

Example: You have two guys they have a degree in business. They stack up about the same. One got his degree from UNC. The other from UNCC. You are the boss who gets the job.

Next Example: You an engineering position open. Same story two guys they stack up about the same. Little harder on this on one has a Western Carolina degree. The other NC State. You are the boss who gets the job.

The point is when it comes down to a degree it may not matter much till you get to the degree that are a little more difficult skill. Just be sure of one thing. Without one you can get there. But, with it. It is easier.

 

Bright days ahead

Levi played like a college player today on the Tar Heels field, against the Richmond Braves, in the Impact event at the USA Baseball Complex in Cary. He has outstanding speed and is smooth in the infield as well as very smart.

That big smile of his tells me he thinks I missed a close call at first base on a routine groundball. The kid can fly!!!


PS: The Charlotte Heat 10 vs On Deck 10 game which ended in a 1-1 tie after 9 innings was a great game. The pitchers were outstanding. Hopefully someone can post the names of these pitchers?

 

How much?????

Agree to a point. But, If you want a Ford Focus or an Audi. It does matter in how much you get at the table.

 

Which is reason enough to stay around for the draft!!!

 

What

if you would rather go to college and play baseball at the school you have always dreamed of not only playing at but attending? What if you want a chance to do something you have always dreamed of doing? Could it just be the guy is doing what he really wants to do and is not concerned with the draft?

Dont you think that he considered all of this before he made this decision? So we can all assume that he made the decision that he felt was not only best for him but the one he wanted to make. The only person that has to like this decision or understand this decision is Levi and his family.

There are alot of things going to college do for a young man other than getting a degree and something to hang on the wall. To some people its not just about the money. To some people playing at and attending a school like UNC is more inviting than getting drafted and getting a paycheck.

I know this is hard for some people to understand. But they dont have to. Its not their kid and its not them.

I am looking forward to seeing Levi at UNC. Its great to see a young man that has worked so hard for something achieve that dream. There is more to life than money. If not then there would not be any teachers. At least not any good ones. And there would not be any HS baseball coaches. At least not any good ones. Because if your doing that for money you made a bad career move.

 

Coach 27 - I don't disagree with your logic at all. It is certainly a solid choice to choose school over pro baseball. I guess my concern (if this was my child) would be that the OPTION of choosing pro ball one year from now is now gone. Many things could happen that would change the situation completely. What if Coach Fox left or had to step aside? What if the program went on probation? What if every junior and the entire freshman class decided to turn pro? If he stays in HS, he gets another 10-12 months to assess the situation. I still think UNC got the better of this deal.

 

What if's and maybe's

That is what we're talking about here. The fact is Levi Michael has a "done deal" in his pocket. He's made a decision that, no matter which way it works out, will improve his future. It is possible that baseball won't work out... ask Chad Flack! Then that degree, or the hours towards a degree, are like money in his pocket.
Look at it this way, where was Josh Horton drafted out of high school? Where was he drafted after his junior year at UNC?
A middle infielder that goes straight from HS into rookie ball will be competing with a boat load (literally!) of latinos for attention. A middle infielder coming out of a top notch college program, who has proven himself at that level, will command the type of draft slot that will get him the better opportunity to move ahead of the pack.

 

Maybe he doesn't want a big house, or an expensive vehicle. If he gets a degree and the pro's doesn't workout, maybe he's happy knowing that if all ends and he isn't a pro player that he's not gonna be rich. Who knows, if UNC is his dream team, then maybe he doesn't wanna be wealthy. To be honest I'm scared of what would happen to me if I became wealthy. If I was offered the same, I would've taken UNC over the pro's. If he's that good he'll end up there one way or another. But like I said someone can take your spot, but no one can take your education. So maybe an education, is more important then money to him. I like it.
