As my son begins his junior year, it’s tough to decide what direction is best for him. He will most likely finish his high school years at the public school. I don’t like that choice, but am resigned that is probably the path he will take. After that, trying figure out what college and what he wants to do with his life is pretty scary for him. There is so much out there open to him. He is bright, personable and capable. He is good with people and friends are daily coming to him with their problems. He may be some sort of minister, psychologist or doctor. My chiropractor told me that my kids could even come shadow him in his work if they were interested! I just learned about “exercise science degrees“. When I heard that term I sort of laughed. But in looking at just what it entails, it could be an option for my son. It is certification through the American College of Sports Medicine for health and fitness instructing. It is aimed at helping build health and fitness plans for clients with low to moderate risks. It is a great stepping stone in pursuing advanced degrees in Exercise Science or Occupational and/or Physical Therapy.

You know, I’d just bet that will be a very hot field over the next couple of decades!

I thought it sounded very interesting. and yes, something that will be in large demand.
