Jaguars Hire Greg Olson As Quarterbacks Coach, Assistant Head Coach

The thing you’re going to have to first get your head around is that you will have no control over who you work for, as getting a job anywhere is the first priority.

Working backwards from scout, you must have an internship. In order to have an internship, you must go to college for something that would be permitted in an internship program, in order to do that you must have appropriate grades, blah blah blah, but before all else you must be armed with the information that will allow you to make all these decisions.

Right now you’re in the collect information stage. Once you have collected the information, you must apply apply apply. If you know what grades you need or what colleges put out the most scouts and what major you need to help you along the way, the only rational thing left is to actually start trying to accomplish all of these things.

Along the way, I would suggest writing a letter to anyone and everyone that will listen. People these days get very little snail mail, and it’s something that could make you stand out if it’s professional enough. Hell, you never know what could happen, but at least you’d get your name out there.

As far as your interest in cars, let that be a side quest until you’re actually prepared to start entering the working world, as you could probably get in at an entry level job and work your way up if you already have a good idea of what your doing. You will never get to a point in your life where you’re saying “man I’m just too old and too deep in other things to try and start up a career in automobiles” the way you would with football.
