Hi this is my first post! I have some good news for everyone for next year. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the profession of Athletic Training is supposed to grow "much faster that average." There are about 16,800 jobs available to athletic trainers and that number is expected to grow to 22,400 in 2018, a 37% increase. That's something that I really like to hear as I will be looking for a job next year. According to the BLS, the competition for jobs is primarily in college and professional sports, with more jobs becoming available in high schools and healthcare industry. The reason is there is low turnover in both the college and professional sports, with more job growth projected in high schools and the healthcare industry.
I really do want a job as an athletic trainer in a college setting, but this article has made me realize it might take some time to find that position.
