Q: So what are the best "sports" job?

Km: According to Forbes: group ticket sales rep, customer service rep, public relations assistant, client service assistant, eMarketing / database management, graduate assistant (sports information department), college development rep, account associate, marketing analyst, and researcher (TV).

Ok, so of all of those, the only thing that sounds interesting to me is researcher (although graduate assistant is a pretty awesome job too). LetsRun had a thread on the topic, with physical therapist and coach/teacher earning the most attention (although streaker and auctioning off "advertising space" is an interesting suggestion). Runner's World also had a poll at one point, and I think they had professional runner, owning a running store, race director, and being a product tester on the list. These suggestions were more along the lines of what I was thinking, but none of them had my ideal "running" jobs - product development and analyst at a performance center. I wonder if there are professional race officials...
