If sports management is your priority, then I would say go for the bachelors instead of the associates. However, there are some community colleges that offer an associates in sports management. This would cut down on the tuition cost for the first two years.
Still, you would have to contact the transfer counselor at the two year community college to make sure the degree is fully transferable to the four year college or university. In addition, the management and marketing degree you mentioned sounds to me like an associates of applied science degree, which may not transfer well to the sports management degree at the four year level. Once again, if a bachelors degree in sports management is your overall objective, then stay with that thought.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
