What the heck can I do with a degree in recreation administration?
samhandwich22 asked:
It sounds like a fun major with alot of fun coursework! Careerwise though, it almost looks unprofessional and whimsical on a resume. I understand there are careers for rec administrations, but they are very broad and vague, ie. community recreation planner, corporate wellness program director, etc.
I need some more information about these careers. What does one do on a day-to-day basis and how much is the salary?

Recreation administrators work as camp counselors or camp directors, recreation leaders, or directors of recreation and parks. Although specific duties vary by job and work environment, recreation workers generally plan and organize fun activities–from performing arts and sports to camping or arts and crafts.
