It was great and allowed me to become familiar with the field of law, a field that I thought was what I wanted to pursue at one point. However, shortly after entering University, I discovered the field of Psychology and decided that counseling was definitely my area of expertise. The last job I had was managing a gym located in my hometown. I worked regularly, juggled school full time, trained and worked online as well. I have always dreamed of being my own boss and I am following the path that will take me there.
Some people have the tendency to stereo type fitness buffs as a bunch of 'uneducated' bozos.
This is just not so. Fitness is a field that has a lot to offer, but if it's not your cup a tea, then so be it. I also advise young women who plan on competing to first finish school, or to at least wait until they have completed high school before they consider their first show. Physically, it's important to remember that the female body doesn't stop developing till at least age 21. That means look into as many sources as possible.
