Ranger Danger
Dang I am 34 and would love this job…but I am sure the pay would be an issue.

Hey, I’m 33 and have two kids and I write for an internet blog. If you want it, you can figure it out!
Ranger Danger
Touché…

Hey I work for a baseball site on the side doing infographics. But the day job makes it a reality to pursue
Jeff Todd
Practicalities certainly must be considered … a part-time gig like that sounds like a great way to balance things and to get something going that could even expand later.
Gogerty
Jeff you are an inspiration my man. 33 and two kids myself, while I would love the opportunity, I doubt I could make that bold a move.
Jeff Todd
Luck + health + exceedingly wise choice in spouse + being a cheapskate … rather favorable circumstances!

Ugh! This is what i’m currently going to University for. I want to work in a baseball franchise’s statistics and analytical department. Currently doing a BA in Philosophy. Just finished my 2nd year. Two more to go! Hopefully I can get a job like this when i’m done.

Genuinely curious: Why would you major in Philosophy and not some math-related, statistics, or finance field?
cxcx
Yeah weirdest comment ever.

Are there any requirements on what the degree has to be in?
TwinsVet
Does the posting cite a requirement on what the degree has to be in?
peyton
No, but the fact that it’s a requirement in the first place seems to suggest that they want to, you know, put it to use. I don’t see why a baseball noob with a biology degree would be a better candidate than a high school educated baseball savant.
Even if I didn’t have a degree I would still be very knowledgeable baseball wise.

looks like it wont pay much since it asks for salary requirements.

In that case I’ll accept for a living wage plus costs of travel expenses.
That sounds like an Oakland move not a SoCal move. Maybe SD has decided to start nickel and diming?
