Same skill set requirements in a non-baseball position: $3O+ per hour.

For example: With a Masters degree and strong SQL skills you could become a Database Administrator.
Starting Salary is $57,000 a year.

A internship looking for someone with a Masters degree is just silly. Granted it is much better than the job posting for the Phillies which was unpaid, wanted a PhD or a Master Degree plus work experience in baseball and college or pro playing experience.

I’m going to send this to everyone who asks me in the future why I’m not taking my degree in economics and applying it to my love of baseball. I’d be much better off writing about baseball instead.
