What job opportunities are there for a bachelors degree in exercise science/kinesiology?

I am a senior in high school and want to become a Physical Therapist, my undergraduate degree would be in exercise science or kinesiology. After I plan to get my DPT, but if for some reason I don't want to continue my education or life happens after my four years of college I'm interested in what job opportunities I would have with a bachelors degree in exercise science or kinesiology. #college #science #degrees #exercise #exercise-science #kinesiology #phyisical-therapist

Hi Alexus,

I think it's great that you are thinking two steps ahead. Initial plans don't always work out and the good news is that you have multiple potential paths ahead of you. Here are a few to consider.

- Fitness Trainer or instructor (personal or group)
- Coach or sports scout for college or professional sports team
- Recreational therapist
- Exercise physiologist
- Teacher or professor at various levels
- Sports facility manager

I encourage you to look into these as your complete your program and keep multiple doors open. Good luck!

Alexa’s Answer

Are you a sports fan? There are many college sports teams or even some professional ones that would hire you as a physical therapist. You should look into maybe starting off at a lower level, look into college sports teams to see if they would hire you and you can eventually move on to looking at some professional sports teams. You can also open your own business and work personally with different athletes instead of a team. On the other hand, if sports is not much of your thing, there are tons of opportunities to become a physical therapist in rehabilitation centers. You can work with individuals who have succumbed to injuries that make them unable to move freely. Thus, they will need the help of physical therapists to rehabilitate them. I hope this helps

Good luck :)
