Hello, I’ve been watching your videos on what the field in kinesiology is really about and I really appreciate you making these. I’m currently a second year student at the University of Calgary doing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology but I’m still not really sure this is really the field for me. As much as I want to say I’m very passionate about the rehabilitation aspect of this degree and how much I care about providing health care to people to live meaningful lifestyles, deep down I am still not 100% sure that this is the future I see my self in. To be very honest it’s more like I don’t know how I can start my career in this field and with the lockdown and online classes there isn’t much networking I can do and I just don’t know who to ask these questions or who to talk to when I’m lost so thank you for making these videos about doing a degree in exercise science. I don’t see self working as a coach or a trainer but it seems like that’s all I can do w this degree ofc I know that I can always continue onto grad school and expand further opportunities but as blunt and truthful as I can be - it’s a lot of money and there’s no guarantees. I want to find a job after uni to pay off my student loans before I apply for more loans for grad school if that’s what I decide to do. Do you have any recommendations on what I can do for the mean time fresh off of school with just a bachelors degree? Or job titles in the field of rehab for kinesiologist that I can look into? My backup plan is to get an education degree after and become a high school bio teacher so at the moment I really don’t know what this degree holds for me or if I want to pursue further w this degree. I am already I in second year uni but I am still not sure if I want to continue (it’s more so idk what I can do w this degree that keeps me from certainty). Anyways sorry for the long comment I just don’t know who to talk to and it seems like online resources are not that helpful to answering my questions. Thank you😊

Hi Lily, I think a lot of students are currently experiencing what you are going through. It's very challenging because you can't apply for jobs, do in person workshops or go to job fairs due to the pandemic. My suggestion would be to get in touch with your schools practicum or CO-OP coordinator to see if there are virtual opportunities available to speak with practitioners in the field. This will give you more clarity on whether or not this is the right field for you. Secondly, I would try to set up a virtual appointment with an advisor on steps you can take if your're still not 100% sure on your degree. Lastly, I would research the idea of the biology school teacher further. You could try finding online groups or forums to chat with teachers to go over the pro's and con's of the teaching career. It's very challenging times right now, but hopefully by looking into some of these resources, you are able to find some of the answers you are looking for.
