You and me are the least of his worries, and guys like Scott Boras do not care about what Sosnick is saying to college students in a Sports Management class. I do agree that if you do not give this profession your all (or any profession, for that matter), don't do it. But if you are willing to take the ride on the highs and endure the lows, then do not let Matt's statement discourage you. <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Darren_Heitner" rel="nofollow">follow @Darren_Heitner on twitter</a><a></a>
