And someone saying, well why don't you work with our community program for youth baseball. You can either volunteer and do good in the community working with kids' teams and doing service or you can work in our office with our corporate sponsors making connections that you can use in your career later.

Nobody really thinks it's a one to one substitution, just that there's value in the second options too.
More like I'd like to play in the majors, but my skills aren't good enough, so I'll play on the company softball team.
