Should i choose a career in boxing or should i go into investment banking?

Question

i am very good at school, i get good grades but i am also a very good boxer. what should i choose.

Answer 1

There's no reason you can't attempt both. Look at Juan Diaz; he is in college, doing reasonably well, and until recently also held a title. Do what you love and hopefully you can figure out a way to make a living at it.

Answer 2

I love the sport of boxing but if you can get a career as an investing banker then go for that DEFINITELY! You cannot rely on boxing to give you a living. Even if by some chance you do get to go professional you will need to have the skills for a regular job to support yourself and the family you one day will have.

Answer 3

try boxing first if you fail then try investment banking because if you get good at boxing you can make a lot of money. In fact Mike Tyson made 300 million during his career.

Answer 5

they both require guts and mentality

and if you're good, could you tell me just one reason why you couldn't do both of them?

note* why is there a thumbs up sign to the guy travis who first answered this question? just curious...is there an explanation to this here in Yahoo answers community?

Answer 6

Boxing.  If you fail at boxing then try investment banking.  Dream big and go for it.  Anyone can be an investment banker but only a few can be boxing champs.

Answer 7

Be realistic. There are a lot of very good boxers out there. Unless you are fairly sure that you can hang with the pros enough to make a comfortable living, and you love boxing enough, then go for it. Remember, champions represent like, 0.1% of the population of boxers, and that represents maybe 2% of the general populace, if that at all. I'm not trying to discourage you, if you are really that good, then go for it man, all the power to you, we need some new faces in the championship divisions :P

Investment banking is an excellent field to get into. Go with your instinct, but also be reasonable. Weigh the pros and cons. Can you make it as a boxer, and would you be more successful than if you had a career in banking? You can still be successful in investment banking and box, just not as seriously. But it's very difficult to box at the highest level in any situation.
