Hello, I'm a hs student looking for some career advice. I love sports, health, nutrition, working out, and am very good with kids. I'd like to find a career that pays well while doing what I love (I know, doesn't everyone). I'm fairly athletic (boys lacrosse player) and may be able to use it to help me get into college. My dream job would be sports related, but I'm also realistic and know that a professional career in sports is not likely. If I were to go that route, I can think of coaching, scouting, athletic director, and athletic trainer. I took a look at some of the average salaries in these fields, and I'm concerned I could barely support myself. Next best thing seems to be in the health industry; occupational therapy, physical therapy, maybe speech therapy (kid aspect). Lastly, thinking about teaching, but I have a lot of teachers in my family and they all seem kind of down on it these days.
I would love to hear from people that have experience in these fields, or even just some general career advice (i.e. if you could do it all over again, what would you do?). Thanks.
