im working on an application for the UN at the moment too but doing a masters means i can go into a higher position should i follow that up and suceed

I'm pretty lucky, only 30 in my class. I don't think any degree is pointless though, even sport and other non-academic degrees. There's a guy on our postgrad course who got in with a degree in acting. Any degree will open doors, be that in further education or employment. A lot of employers only want to know that you've got the ability to stick a course and earn your degree in order to give you a chance.

Well anybody who wants to teach PE these days will be doing a postgrad course anyway, a PGCE. You're right in what you say though, there probably aren't that many openings for PE teachers in full time employment as it's a bit of niche, at least over here. But a sports degree will still open all sorts of doors, for example companies that will only accept graduates for training. Ok, they may not be using what they've learned, but they're using their degree to get them on in life. A degree maximises life chances, some more than others right enough - but no degree is pointless.

Not being able to walk isn't necessarily a bad thing. Describe your surroundings. What do you have around you? Have you a beer handy? Remote? Bell for the missus? Not being able to walk can be as much of a boon as a bastard, if you play your cards right. Think positive fella.

Back in my day there wasn't such a thing as torn ligaments. If it wasn't broken, you had a 'sore leg' and were expected just to carry on!
