career exploring

Career exploration

My first career I picked is a professional athlete because I love to play sports and I play soccer for a team. There is not a degree or certification you need for a professional athlete but a college scholarship could help your chances of getting on a pro team. All states and countries allow sports and if you go to a collage it will help your chance a lot more to get on a pro team better than if you don’t go to college. It depends what team you go to if you go to a main team that is well known then it will take about a year to train and try out for it, if you go to a team that’s not well known then it will take about 5-8 months. For the training it costs about 20 thousand for a half a year, and you don’t need to get education for it but it will help so they recommend 2 years of collage and it will cost about 10 thousand. I would play soccer for a professional team that I like a lot and will be traveling all around the world so I will have fun with what I do playing my favorite sport and seeing the world when I travel. When you first start you I will be making around 40 to 95 thousand a year then after 3 years of playing then it will move up to 100 to 200 thousand a year. One of the guys I researched plays hockey and spends most of his day at the ice rink training with trainers doing laps around the ice shooting and playing goalie. He says its fun and everyone should try it.


My second career I picked is ironworker because I hear my parent’s friend’s talk about it and it sounds fun and I wanna try it. I need 3-4 years of ironworker school to try and get a job for it and you have to be 18 or older. The best school to go to for it is in Ohio because they have the best iron worker program there in the US. It takes 2 years of training after you finish school and get your degree in iron working. It costs around 50-70 thousand with school and the training for the job I will be outside really high working on skyscrapers offices ect. All year long in the cold or warm I have to work. When I first start off I will make around 25-50 thousand a year then as I stay there longer it will move up to 75-100 thousand a year. Wake up at 6 go to work for 3 hours get a break at 10 go back to work at 11 work till 3 have lunch then work to 9 then go home for dinner and that’s a day in the life of ironworking.
