Thanks for the answer, and it looks like we don't have to worry anymore! :up:

Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to become a lawyer. At the same time, I loved the Dolphins and grew up adoring football. I am 5'8" though and only 120 pounds so my chance of ever actually playing it have always been non existent. The other day, I was reading about Drew Rosenhaus and saw that he graduated from Duke Law. This stunned me but then it soaked in as common sense that most Agents are lawyers. My biggest fear is getting into a career I dread and obviously a lawyer is a pretty hard job to like unless you are doing something you love.
Due to all of this, I have obviously started to take great interest in becoming an NFL Agent. I am not sold yet but I sure would like to get more information about it. I am about to leave to UCF for undergraduate. I am already majored in Legal Studies but obviously looking for something else to either major or minor in. Any ideas there?
I am also very eager to start learning. I know Drew Rosenhaus has a book out but as you said, I don’t like the idea of Agents being known as Sharks. Any reading material or other things I could read so I can learn more?
Another question, and probably a rude one, is how does salary go? I know its rude to ask how much someone makes but I would like to know how an NFL Agent is paid. Do you get a percent of someone's contract, is it a set amount or is it hourly? Also, how much would an average one make?
Any information whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. I thank you for giving out a helping hand. Good luck with the rest of your career and continuing to have great success. Thanks!

zephon said:this might be kinda odd to answer so you don't have to but.....
....do you see yourself becoming a factor with the upper-level talent in college with a few more years experience or do you like dealing with 2nd and 3rd tier players? (I hope that doesn't sound bad...I didn't mean for it to at all.)
Phinsdude said:Brett, your phone is everything to you. It is to me, but not as much as you, that's why I would trust your answer. I have had problems with several different cell phone companies, and need to figure out where to go now. What cell phone provider do you use. If an Agent uses a company, I'll trust that company. Thanks Brett

:beerbang:Brett Tessler said:Like I said in another post, I've read some really nice comments from many of you regarding my client, Damion McIntosh. D-Mac has been a visitor here at FinHeaven and I know he appreciates the support. Let's hope he stays healthy and keeps up the great work!
claytonAndDuper said:brett, my reply was geared more towards people recognizing the fact that many did not agree with you, when you broke this info about mac, they ought to give you your props for coming thru man
