I mean, even if MMA does work out, when you're 35-40, eventually you have to go back into the workforce or choose to destroy your mind and body for 5 more years of getting your ass kicked to be a resume piece for younger guys (and then eventually go into the workforce anyways after that). Have fun going back into the workforce at 35-40 with no work experience in the past 15 years, while having no job skills, or you haven't used the skills you did have in 15 years..
Hey, it's just Walgreens.. but being at the very least a manager at Walgreens at 35 and developing job skills and licenses and certifications along the way is a hell of a lot better that starting at the bottom with teenagers.
To be fair, even a regular ufc fighter like Raging Al was able to turn his fame into a real estate gig, primarily due to his name value. Selling cars is another easy one if you’re a little famous. “Buy a car, take a photo with a former ufc fighter!”
