The career of my choice is being a professional athlete. Their are a lot of good and bad things about this but i am going to start with the good. Professional athletes play in front of a crowd and get paid for it. So it basically means they get paid for playing their favorite game. The work of a professional athlete is very demanding, this includes both physical and mental stress. They most be in the best possible shape. Basketball players may earn millions if they are superstars. Jobs for professional athletes are expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations through the year 2018. That means more people will get a job.

In a professional athletes career their are also a lot of bad things about it. Most modern athletes work out all year round, during both the season and off season. During the regular season, professionals athletes often practice more then 40 hours a week. That means they don't have that much time to them self. They may have other duties related to the team as well-for instance, going to meetings or watching films about the opposition. In may 2008, average wages for professional athletes were $79,460. Salaries for professional athletes vary with the sport. Professional athletes in the "minors" sometimes earn very little. Competition is intense for the relatively few professional athlete jobs. This is because many young men and women dream of entering this occupation. Minor leagues doesn't offer much job security, an athlete can lose his or her job because of an injury, or can be replaced by a "better" player at any time. cfe7fad7-0394-4a3b-8acc-33e8eb79c19c 1.03.01
