I graduated in the early nineties during a recession and without much of a plan as to what to do next. Kinesiology was a fairly new concept to the working world (at least based on the reactions I got during the four years I was attending school by those who asked what I was studying?). Those classmates who took the degree to the next level; PT, OT, Medicine, Chiropractic Medicine or teaching ended up pretty successful…or so it seems on LinkedIn. I didn’t take it to the next level. I wanted to work. I had always worked at something. I loved those summer jobs of farming, landscaping, house painting, masonry…those physically demanding jobs that had a means to an end. You saw the results at the end of day. I guess I wanted to see that in a newfound professional career. I just really didn’t plan for it.
