Job Satisfaction

General quality of life statement

Choosing a career path may not be the easiest after graduation, but life in general won't be so bad. You have a wide range of careers to choose from, so chances are good that you'll be able to land on your feet and stay balanced pretty easily. If you go to grad school, a move that both focuses your study and narrows the array of jobs available to you, the better you're likely to do. You'll be a kinesiological know-it-all at that point.

Here's some even better news: The vast majority of kinesiology majors are really happy with their jobs (71%, compared to the college-grad median of 54%). This is where the open-endedness of a kinesiology major really pays off; once you figure out what you want to do, you're pretty stoked about it. You might even want to do a little dance.

And no, money can't buy happiness, but it sure can help to alleviate stress. So after your next rigorous workout, use a bit of your $62,000 salary to get some Epsom salts and scented candles to relax those aching muscles. You deserve it.
