You can always get your degree and then enroll in the masters in sports administration/management program at the University of Louisville. Then you can work in the mornings at Churchill Downs (you can literally walk from the school to the track) as a hotwalker and meet people, maybe even move up the ladder while in school.

A degree is a great thing to have, but in the horse business experience and contacts are everything. You would be shocked at how many complete idiots have good jobs in the business because they can talk and they know how to hustle.

Good luck. Working with horses is a great job. Maybe you can become the next Cot Campbell or someone like that. You manage a stable and sell off pieces of horses you buy and keep 10% for managing the horse. Good gig if you can get it.
