it depends on what sport your talking about.in b-ball you dont have to go if your 19.in football you have to go two years
Players have to have at least 2 years of a high school education before they can go pro.
Yes and no. While the majority of pro athletes never even attend college, those that do typically have just a Bachelors. It is extremely rare that you will find a pro with a higher degree. (mainly because they go pro after 4 years. However, some have been known to continue their schooling after their pro career is over.
1 out of every 250 college athletes 'Go Pro' according to the NCAA and NAIA stats, so in a given year where on average there are 400,000 student athletes, there are potentially 16,000 of them that would go pro over the next four years. If for estimate sake, we say 25% of those will be the senior graduating class, then about 4,000 athletes each year go professional. Not sure of the latest stats on US population, but as of the latest info I could get my hands on, there are appx. 300,000,000 people in the US today, and the average tenure of a pro athlete is only 3-5 years depending on the sport. (some longer/shorter) So the percentage of actual current pro athletes to US population would be somewhere in the ballpark of 12-15k (est) pro athletes in the US and so you would be looking at something like .00005%
