I’ve always had an interest in getting a job in exercise sciences, sports medicine, etc. After talking with my school’s athletic trainer, I Became pretty uncertain of whether or not I want this to be my future job. he told me that you basically work about a 60 hr work week, and living on the team’s schedule. He also said that with always being on the road you are rarely at home, unless you worked at a high school or a middle school which is something i definitely do not want to do.
I also eventually want to go into powerlifting around this time, would there be any way that I could fit in a regular training schedule and go to meets?
is anyone here an athletic trainer or in any other career like this?
if so please share
