The ideal college best for me would be western Oregon. Western offers two degrees and they have just what I'm looking for, during my visit for football western told me I could get a degree criminal justice and also If I want to, get a degree in physical science, I've always wanted to be a cop but not for the rest of my life, being a cop would be great and all but I wouldn't want that to be my career job. You may know that I love sports, I love being around it all the time, my dad's a trainer and trains hundreds of athletes around Oregon’s and have trained up to NFL football players. So my next degree would be exercise science, exercise science degree gives me all the things I need to know about being a trainer, being a trainer would be my career job. What's good about western is there tuition, it's around 22,752$ and that's without financial aid and scholar ships, if I went to western I wouldn’t stay in the dorms after my seconf year because it cost $9,315, which is half the tuition. Also there acceptance rate is 88.30%. To get into western you have to have at least a 2.75 GPA there campus is pretty small but it's only about an hour from my house and there football team is good. The girl to boy ratio is male 36% and female 64%. The average SAT score is 1355, but at western you don’t need to take your SATS. Western sports are football, soccer, volleyball, baseball, track, softball, and cross country. The picture below is Western Oregon Recreation Department, which offers a variety of fun-filled, health-promoting, physical and recreational activities conducive ...
For this project, the certified athletic trainer who I have shadowed for almost eight hours in just one day is Candace O'Bryan, currently the athletic trainer at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron. Candace has worked at Hoban now entering her third year at the high school. She works alone as a trainer there but works along side one team doctor who is at every game, and the other one being a neurosurgeon but is just a parent helping out.

You go three years of high school preparing for college and at the same time having fun. Until you are in your senior year of high school that’s when you realize and start asking your self what college do I want to go to? Or what college career I want to pursue? That’s when you notice you have but so little time to answer these questions. Me I’m in my last year of high school and I though I already knew what career I wanted to pursue, but its now that I notice that not even I know what I’m going to do with my life? All I’m sure of its that I’m going to graduate out of high school with a diploma and that I’m going to college. But what happens after that? What major did I study? Or where did I go to accomplish my goal?

The arguments between college majors and life after high school are well supported in Ben Casselman's article, "The Economic Guide to Picking a College Major." Ben describes the reality that receiving a college degree does not always mean that you will have economic success.
