What are the areas of specialty within the field?
There are many job opportunities in several fields associated with athletic training. The most marketable athletic trainer at the present time is one that also has a degree in PT or PTA. This allows an athletic trainer to work in a clinic in the morning and work in a high school in the afternoon covering practices or games. Some students also decide that they would like to remain in the college setting. This requires a student to get a master’s degree where they may also pursue an assistantship at that school to help pay for some schooling costs. Certified athletic trainers can also find jobs in industrial type settings, sales representative positions, and in some heath clubs.
