Lol why are you choosing a Division III - I am not a bro, idiot. I am in my 50's, and exceedingly well accomplished and frankly, having come from nothing, have done well financially and personally - with two kids just having finished at the top of the Ivy League (no sports for them, just astounding academics). As well as I did in athletics, my professional accomplishments have been statistically more rare, more challenging, and certainly more enriching. A suggestion to manage time better is simply silly. Most in my day did not manage time nearly as well as I did; time management wasn't the issue. Pursuing a sport with no long term revenue prospects, limited opportunity to establish a professional/social network (and hanging with self indulgent, self centered athletes who call other guys bro does not cut it), and very limited intellectual stimulation in athletics was the problem. One of my classmates is still a friend, and one of the best and sharpest economists at Brookings. He certainly did not spend his college years pursuing a sport, that's for sure. Look, I think I have "caught up" with him in terms of intellectual development, for whatever that's worth, but in hindsight, I really did not need the Division 1 athletics detour and don't value it much today.
Again, one has to know themselves, and not get caught up in Division III vs Division 1 foolishness. As I said, when I connect on occasion with college rivals, I am happy they are teaching and coaching or engaged in activities derivative of athletics. They are by and large good people with great character. That path certainly wouldn't have worked for me, or my brother, and the notion of Division 1 vs. Division III athletics and so on is a needless irrelevancy to someone with goals and capabilities we possessed. And my experience is certainly not unique.
