Life as a teeneager is an unforgetable experirence. However, one day this exciting period will come to an end and I will have to focus on my future. In order to have a successful life, I am going to have to chose a career. Out of the what seems like an endless amount of careers, I decided to focus on becoming a personal trainer or a horticulturist. Both of the careers would require me to be physically fit, helpful, and good at planning. Although they require a lot of similar traits, they have a big difference in pay and work environment.

The median earnings for a personal trainer was $33,020 in May of 2013. This is less than the average salary which was $54,667 as of June 2014. This may seem like a deciding factor between the two careers but the job outlook for personal trainers is projected to increase by 13% through the year 2022. (“Personal Trainers” 949). Unlike personal trainers, horticulturists tend to make a little more. The median pay for horticulturists during 2015 was $64,170. Even though this is more than a personal trainer, the job outlook for horticulturists is projected to drop 2% through the year 2024 (Farmers, Ranchers, and Other Agricultural Managers). This information makes the decision harder because personal trainers have a better job outlook but horticulturists make more money. Personal trainers have very different work environments than horticulturists do. Some personal trainers will purchase their own studios or gyms and have their clients come to them. Some will go to client’s houses and work with them there. The most popular place to work is in recreational clubs, which 58% of trainers do (Fitness Trainers). Horticulturists will often work in labs to study plants. Others will work in greenhouses or botanical gardens to supervise the growth of plants (Farmers, Ranchers, and Other Agricultural Managers). The two careers have nothing in common when it comes to work
