Here it goes,
I need advice on future career path. Before I get into it here is some background info.
Im irish, aFew years back i was set to hit up the oil sands in Canada I was waiting on my visa and other shit to sort out before I was in a car crash and banged myself up pretty bad. It took a lot of work but i am fully back on my feet and stronger than ever both mentally and physically. In my recovery process I completely changed my life for the better. I gave up alcohol, drugs and the smokes. That shit was ruining me and making me pretty toxic to be around.
The story now is Im 24, in year 3 in college studying exercise and health fitness. I love anatomy, movement, exercises, fitness all that kinda crack. I keep thinking to the future and what I can do with my degree and career wise theirs not a whole lot. Id like to start my own business so I can run it my way and not answer to anyone.
Here are some options I am thinking about.
Go back to year 1 and study physiotherapy/physical therapy as a 4 year degree. Start a blog and maybe some ebooks about how to get through PT school etc. Drop some quality content and basically create a following and a brand so I can start my own practice a year or two after I graduate. Do as much work experience during the summer months as possible to be the best in this field. The aim would be to run a successful practice and expand as soon as it is profitable. I would run the show and have a good team with strong vision for the business. I would aim to expand to the U.S, Canada, Australia over time.
The downside is Over here the markets pretty saturated and hard to know how profitable it would be. I would hate to end up making fuck all after going to all trouble putting myself through college again and be 29 years old finishing up when I could be in a job for afew years. The only good thing is college would be free. Its also very very competitive to get in so I might not even get this opportunity.
I could just get my level 8 degree in exercise and fitness and do a msc in sports management and hope for the best on the jobs front. I would probably get one with some sports organisation and make ok cash. Maybe start some side hustles to supplement it somewhat.
I was also thinking of joining law enforcement or the army and just ride that out, find a good women and have kids. I would be able to retire early with a decent pension and be a strong father leading my family. Potentially if I was still business hungry I could start one with the kids when their old enough and grow it with them.
So what do ye think of these options. Do you think physiotherapy/ physical therapy is a good career to make $? What is the market like in the U.S? Is their any PTs on here?
Any other thoughts about what I could do? I am open to ideas.. Thanks.
