Brief summary, also my first post, I just got out of the army last year in December, I just finished my first semester in community college with a general studies degree and like any typical college student I am struggling hard with what I want to do with my life. In the army I thought about majoring in kinesiology and then using that as a stepping stool to become a chiropractor or physical therapist or occupational therapist. With that if I choose to not pursue a higher education I could try to get a job with said major perhaps athletic trainer or personal trainer. I no longer have the desire to pursue kinesiology and honestly don't intend on going to school for more than an associates even though I should as I have the Hazelwood act and GI bill. Before the army I pondered a lot, and still do, about being a heroic FBI agent fighting human trafficking saving kids and gunning down evil men and become some kind of hero. But the experience from the army made me realize it's nothing like the shit you see on tv, I don't know anyone in the FBI but from the research it seems to be a lot of bullshit as well. So there's thought of becoming a police officer, my training from the army (infantry) should be mostly transferable, I am hesitant as I worry I will end up quitting before retirement and start again from square one on top of that is my knee pain. I still do strength training and I add conditioning and even cardio in the form of biking or the elliptical but running just hurts too damn much, even walking or standing for too long hurts, which isn't very long. Another thought that I have pondered is becoming an occupational therapy assistant, besides that I am at a loss, I know that my passions are weightlifting, I have to remove certain exercises because of my knee pain, and shooting. There's no way in hell I would ever have a desk job as I would lose my mind. I always believed that your passions should be set aside from your job but I still have that fantasy of being a hero that was never fulfilled in the army. I know that for my career I want something that pays well enough so I don't have to stress over bills and be fulfilling.
