#4 Current Major and Career Goals

My current career goals are undecided. There are various things that I can do. I can get my masters in special education, I can just find a job with athletic training, I could apply for a GA position and get my masters in something health related, the possibilities are endless. I really like having something to do with the health care field. I think its really interesting and medicine is expanding every day into something new. I could be an athletic trainer at a high school and teach special education during the day. I figured that would be a smart path to go, but I know I will eventually get burnt out with working over 12 hour days. So my major is athletic training. I have recently started telling people that I am majoring in sports medicine because they don’t know the difference between athletic training and personal training at a gym. Nothing against personal trainers, but you don’t have to go to school for four years to become one. Its one of athletic trainers biggest pet peeve is when people confuse the two. In five years I see myself somewhere with a nice job, trying to save up for a family and a stable life. I want to be working full time, whether its been for five years, or whether its been for 2 or 3 years because I went back to school for my masters. In ten years I see myself settled with a family, a house, a job, somewhere that is going to be a good place for a stable life. I don’t want to make tons of money, but I want to be able to give my kids everything I was given when I was growing up. Hopefully in 15 years I will be the same place as 10, if not richer (haha), and loving life.
