Hunter Dickinson posted a hilarious video about what’s next in his career. Now that his long college career is over, Dickinson had a self deprecating joke about his “seven years of college eligibility” in basketball.

The former Michigan and Kansas center posted a video about LinkedIn, the top job search and networking website. It seems like Dickinson is ready for the 9-5 life!

Whatever’s next to him, he’s ready for it. You can see the video of Dickinson below.

If Dickinson doesn’t play pro basketball in the NBA or elsewhere, he can leave a solid college career behind. During his final year, his second with Kansas, Dickinson put up 17.4 points per game, 10 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game and shot 52.6% from the floor.

As he looks at the sport, though, Dickinson joined the chorus of people calling for college athletes to become employees and multi-year sign contracts. With it, he argued in favor of buyouts when players decide to transfer out.

“Multi-year contracts, I think it would benefit the mid-majors the most because if you get a guy on a three-year contract for $1.2 [million], paying him $400 [thousand] a year,” Dickinson said on The Field of 68 ahead of the national championship. “And after the first year, he wants to leave to another school and the school wants to commit to him, they’ve got to pay that buyout of $800 [thousand] so that they can bring that back into their collective and use for other people.

“I think that’s the easiest way to try to do that. But until they make any real changes … you see it with coaching. The only reason why I don’t feel bad for mid-major coaching staffs now is look, if they go in there and win their conference – go to the tournament, win three games – they’re going to leave for a job that pays them double, triple what they do. The only reason why they’re mad is because they’re not able to make that jump where their players are.”
