Answer:

100% of the time it benefits someone to be a better student than an athlete.  College graduates make a good amount of money. It is true that throughout a lifetime of a college graduate, even in lower-paying jobs, like teaching, will do much better than a non-graduate. People who don’t have a college degree can have jobs that pay well but in most cases, the college graduate or top student will do better financially than a non-graduate.

Some would argue that professional athletes would make much more money. The percentage of those who make a professional roster is very slim. According to LeagueSide, an organization dedicated to increasing fundraising for youth sports, about 1.2% of college basketball players make it to the NBA. Roughly around 0.9% of female athletes make it to the WNBA. In baseball, 8.6% of college players are drafted into the MLB. However, being drafted into the MLB does not guarantee success. In football, about 1.6% of college athletes are drafted by the NFL. But, this will not guarantee a big contract. In men’s soccer, about 1.4% of college players are drafted by the MLS. For ice hockey, around 6.8% of college players are drafted by the NHL. Once again, being drafted does not guarantee a big contract or a successful career. According to the Journal of Medical Regulation, in 2018 there were more than 985,000 doctors in the United States. The exact number of professional athletes in the United States including men's and women’s sports would be far less. There are currently an estimated 11,800 athletes in the U.S.
