In this personal vlog, the speaker reflects on their first year of college and a job fair experience that sparked a reassessment of their career path. Initially attracted to a physical therapy major, they learn from a clinic head that even after six years of experience the salary is modest ($85k/year), which feels discouraging. This revelation leads the speaker to conclude that a conventional job in physical therapy may not meet their aspirations. Determined to create a more rewarding career, they decide to start their own fitness business. To acquire the necessary expertise, they relocate to California with minimal funds, intent on learning from top practitioners and eventually launching their own venture.

Chapters

It's the first year of college. Essentially, you're picking what's my path going to be, like, why am I even going into this major? They had a physical therapy, you know, tent, and so I went there and I was like, all right, I think that's the most high-paying job you can get. Maybe I'll get one of those, get some experience, and open up my own clinics. There was a woman there who she was the head of a clinic. I asked her, how is it? She's like, it's amazing. She's like, I work only 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, and dude, I am making 6 years out, $85,000 a year. She said it like she was so proud of it, and in my mind I was like, that's terrifying. You've been up for 6 years, you're only making $85,000? That sucks. So I knew immediately Immediately going through the phases, I was like, I'm gonna have to start a fitness business of my own because I don't know how else it's gonna happen. I actually moved out to California. I didn't have a job. I barely had any money. I didn't know anything about California, but I was like, I have to go out there and I have to learn from people who are the best. I'll work under them. I'll work where I have to go because then eventually I can become the best because I've learned from the best and I can have my own business.
