I chose this major both because I love sports and exercise and because I expected it to be a growth industry, it seems that was correct as there are plenty of employment oppertunites in the field. I would still choose this major.
Although this major may seem to be one for dumb jocks, consider the salaries of the successful coaches in the pros and college. To be successful you have to be a motivator and at times a shrink and baby sitter. You will have to deal with bothersome parents, administrators and alumni. However, you will be able to shape and mold youths into productive citizens.
If you choose this major it may take quite a long time to make any substantial money. You normally have to work your way up from the bottom. You have to obtain experience and pay your dues before you will ever have an opportunity to have a large income. When you graduate with this major you will enter a competitive field. Successful athletic programs are important in this country. Only the better motivators will be successful. There will be outside interference from parents and administrators and influence by alumni. Everyone will want to know why their children aren't starting or playing. There are budget problems you will have to overcome and find ways to get equipment with little or no money. Continued training will be required to stay on top of your game, no pun intended. There are liability issues to consider if a player under your control gets hurt or intentionally hurts someone else. You will have to deal with off-field antics of your players.
