Career Choices Help???

Hi! I need help choosing my career choice -.- I am in 12th grade and I want to become a P.E teacher. But I was wondering is there any other careers that are good for me? I am a good speaker and don't get nervous when I get in front of a big group of people. I can make friends easily and I'm good with kids... I think being a Gym teacher is a good idea because it's easy money and I can maybe also minor in English or something... I just don't see myself as a gym teacher though...

    If you're seriously considering a more physical career, you should look into a something possibly related to fitness and training (ie: personal trainer, physical therapy, etc). It's probably much more profitable than a career as a gym teacher. But I wouldn't recommend going into something just because it's "easy money," or you'll just be setting yourself up for a boring and unsatisfying career. You should do something you love or are passionate for, something you find stimulating, interesting, and possibly even challenging. It's also very important to have the skill for it, as well. You mentioned that you're a good public speaker; there are plenty of careers you can use that for: motivational speaker, teaching, etc. But my best advice to you would be: find out what you love, make sure you're good at it, make sure you can make a living off it, and then go ahead and do something with it. :)

    There are a lot of career opportunities involving fitness. You could be a coach or a personal trainer. You could even expand your horizons and try something like adventure naturalist schools. They do a lot of outdoorsy type things including hiking, biking, camping etc. Once your done with school in that area you could become a guide and teach kids how to do the same thing!
