Would you rather be someone like Daniel Currie or say Tom Logan from Port and be on an AFL list for 8-10 years for less than 100 games with little chance of gaining any other sort of qualifications in that time only to have to re-establish yourself in the work force in your early 30s or someone who is on an AFL list for a shorter amount of time, cut in their early 20s with plenty of time to gain other education or qualifications?
In short would you rather have your dream end early allowing you to fall back to the more mundane or would you prefer to hold on to that dream as long as possible? I sometimes wonder how difficult it would be for those type of journeyman footballers who aren't on the ridiculous money of the superstars to integrate into 'normal' life at a much later age than everyone else.
