Did anyone else hear about this? I seriously was thinking after I graduated that it was a bit of a waste, but I loved my major. By my senior year my professors were saying that those of you that are Exercise Science majors should look to getting a masters or further education because there is no jobs for us (and there are people out there that do our jobs without the slightest bit of a degree, but just have big muscles). SO I was thinking to myself that the best way for me to get a job or have any kind of job security would be to hook up with an insurance company and say "hey, you refer people to me, I will reduce their risk of all these diseases by putting them on a treadmill, and then you give them a lower premium..." Then...a year later I read this article. For those of you who haven't read the link: Cedar Cities govornment employees that do not follow some kind of exercise plan will have to pay 20% of their health care premiums while those that do, will have 100% of their paid for them. I think personally that this is a great idea. It gives people motivation to be healthy and to save money by making healthy choices. Plus, they just saved 20% on their health insurance, money that could be spent instead on a gym membership or a personal trainer. SO!! Another thought of mine is potentially true. I have always thought that there may not be jobs for me right now, but I have always felt that I should stick with the major I picked because I felt it was the right thing and that there would be jobs available in the future. All in All, this is great news to me! :)
