BS exercise science.
First job out of college was from my internship working at a PT clinic that had a huge industrial work hardening program.
Next job was out at a hospital initially doing outpatient cardiac rehab, followed by getting my ACLS, somehow ending up on the code team and starting to do inpatient cardiac rehab. Helped to design a jt arthroplasty water rehab program with a RN, designed a stroke rehab program, a back rehab program, somehow convinced my boss that I could open a gift shop in our area of the hospital carrying items specific to the needs of our in & outpatients, did that and it was profitable from the first quarter. Also convinced her that since we had all this cardiac rehab equipment that there was no reason why we couldn't do some sort of employee personal training classes at lunch & after rehab finished for the day. That too was profitable.
The rest of the exercise physiologists were content working in cardiac rehab but I was bored, hence branching out.
I also befriended The General Counsel who sat on the BOD and was part of the executive team making decisions when he hurt himself playing tennis. I was able to get him back on the courts. If I had an idea, good or bad, I ran it past him first then my boss. If she shot me down, he'd mention some great idea I had and her decision usually got reversed. I suspect some, maybe a lot, of what I was able to do was because he was able to nudge department heads into certain directions on my behalf.
During this time I started coaching (1997). I was still bored at the hospital and when it downsized outpt cardiac rehab got downsized. I started selling ads for a sports magazine. After 9 months selling ads I went into pharma sales. 11.75 years later I left to coach full time.
You should ping Mike Prevost on here. He's has a kick ass job using his degree with the Navy.
