WWE fighters are rarely associated with educated people who have college degrees. More often than not, when we talk about WWE fighters, we represent muscular men who are only interested in the gym and proper nutrition. Many people think that athletes simply do not need to learn and develop intellectual abilities. But these are all stereotypes. The playing career ends before the onset of forty and you need to think not only about sports results. Many athletes, surprisingly, also thought about this and received higher education in addition to the WWE titles and today we will tell you about them.
Why is it Worth Getting an Education as an Athlete?
First, education is about broadening one's horizons. When the field of interest is limited to sports, it is difficult to find friends outside the gym. You need to develop a general erudition so that you can easily communicate with people on any topic.
Secondly, not all WWE fighters become champions. The world of sports is tough and sometimes very cruel. A sports career can be ruined by a ridiculous injury. It is important that you have the knowledge and skills with which you will find a new path in life.
Thirdly, the biography of many athletes ends in oblivion. They cannot find themselves after sports, because they spent their childhood and adolescence as in an aquarium - only training and performances, no family, no school, or college. You need to have a fallback so you don't get depressed by retirement.
You might argue that it is very difficult to combine university and sports, but in this case, you can order an essay cheap on EssayBulls. There, professionals will help you with any task. Now, on to the list of educated WWE fighters.
1. Eve Torres
This girl stands out from the rest of the wrestling divas. Eve has not only strong muscles and impressive forms but also two engineering degrees from the university. Studying did not take all the time of the future wrestling star: at the university she organized a women's club, and was also one of the leaders of the dance organization "Flying Girls of the University of South California", acting there not only as a dancer but also as a choreographer. Despite the rather modest list of awards and achievements (WWE champion, WWE administrator), Eve Torres is quite interesting.
2. Matthew Korklan aka Evan Bourne
Matthew Korklan since childhood was fond of martial arts and everything connected with it. Nevertheless, since he was not completely sure about the prospects of the wrestling profession and the ability to provide himself with the money raised, he entered the University of Missouri and received a bachelor's degree in marketing. By a strange coincidence, he not only got his degree and hid it in the back shelf of the closet, but also became vice president of marketing and sales for a mailbox company. We can say that his education brought him a good income and he had started fight career with a "safety cushion" in case something did not work out.
3. John Cena
You all know John Cena for sure as an outstanding wrestler. But just imagine, he also has a degree from Springfield University in physical exercise. It would seem that his degree is closely related to sports, however, as the wrestler himself notes, studying at the university allowed him to learn a lot in such areas as philosophy, literature, and economics. The wrestler also notes that every person, regardless of profession and direction in life, should study at the university in order to at least master time management.
4. Jake Hager
Jake Hager, like three of the above wrestlers, has higher education. He received his BA in Finance from the University of Oklahoma. He worked for a long time in a financial firm and his career in finance was quite successful, but without receiving a well-deserved promotion, the wrestler was upset and decided to try becoming a wrestler in the WWE. The attempt was successful and therefore Jake Hager left his career as a financier. However, he does not deny that he may one day go back to his financial career.
Summing up
Education is very important if you want to be your own independent person. Education helps you become independent financially, socially, and emotionally. This will help you make important decisions about your life without relying on outside opinions. In addition, having received an education, you can safely go into a sports career, because if something does not work out for you, you will already have a backup plan. So hopefully you have taken inspiration from our selection of college-educated WWE fighters and have given up the idea of leaving college. Really, the higher education will bring only benefits in your life and will definitely not be excessive.
