When you become a GM. how long do you train for??

How do you become a mlb gm or a position that's behind the scenes?

• My dream goal is to become a gm for any mlb team. if not a gm then something in that field; a scout, or an agent possibly. how do you get into that business? what should i take in college to help me out?

• Answer:

  A quick review of current MLB GMs shows that most took one of two routes - either played baseball in college or the minor leagues (1 or 2 made the majors) and then hooked on with a team or they started with a major league team at lower rungs such as in the marketing department, scouting department or front office and worked themselves up. Unless you can somehow prove you have a keen eye for baseball talent, your best met is probably a business admin degree and then start applying for jobs at both the major league and minor league level.
