My Dream Career

   My dream career would be able to own my own fitness company and gym in Vancouver or possibly internationally. I would also like to be a personal trainer at my gym. For this job the salary expectations are endless because you are owning your company and it depends on how successful it will be. It's not just all about the money for me, I love fitness and health and helping people reach there goals and there full potential.

 Being a personal trainer is highly in demand due to obesity rates that are getting worse, also that people will always have a need for fitness, it will never go out of style. Personal trainers is one of the fastest growing careers in the health and fitness industry today. The demand continues to grow rapidly each and every day. From celebrities to senior citizens, personal trainers help you how to excersise properly, have a healthy life, and reach your fitness goals. 

 To become a personal trainers there is no need for a university degree.  All you need is to be 19 years or older to take the course. You can take the course in New Westminster BC and it costs about $5,800.00 and no grade 12 required.  But since I want to pursue my track career and know how to run my own business properly, I want to go to UNLV (University Of Nevada Las Vegas) on a full ride ride scholarship for track.

   If I get a track scholarship I won't need to worry about the cost of getting my business degree but for non Nevada residents, tuition costs about $31,695.00 per year and $125,000.00 for an entire degree. The requirements to get a bachelor calmers degree is you need pre-calculus 12, average of 84 percent is required, 70 percent in English 11 and 12, graduation from high school with a minimum of 70 percent, and 2 other approved grade 12 courses. 

  It is really easy to get hired as a personal trainer due to how highly in demand it is, but since I will own my own buissness I don't need to worry about getting hired. Owning your own buissness is definetly not easy at first, but it's all worth it in the end.  The attributes and skills that I have for these jobs is I'm a people person, understandable, hard working, determined, I've got grit, I'm kind, and caring which is very important if you're a personal trainer and owning your own buissness. 

  I think that this career is definetly a possibility because with my track and the support that I have from my family. Like my track coach always says " education is the key to success, sports opens doors and opportunities".
