Kinesiology/Athletic Training vs. Engineering

Hi, im a senior and im planning on going into either the Kinesiology/Athletic training or an Engineering (Biomedical or Mechanical) major. I am still unsure of what to do because i keep changing my mind. i have friends in both majors and each recommend me to go into the majors which adds more to my indecisiveness. I am leaning more towards the Athletic training major because i am in sports and my coach told me about it, and i also plan on coaching in the future. So i want to know what kind of suggestions there might be for me to help me on my decision, and if so where there are good schools in California or nationwide. Any advice helps

Well, there are a lot of athletic trainers and coaches out there, not necessarily paid well, or at all. You may want to ask your coach about making a living coaching. Remember that many recreational or club teams are coached by volunteers who happen to be the ones who are better at the sport than others in the team.

If you go into engineering, some possibilities include designing sports equipment like that being used by this athlete.
