| Soccer or Education? Hello, I really want to become a pro soccer player, but now I have a lot of problems. Firstly, I would just like to say I am 13. And I really want a dog. My mom says I can get one, but I have to pay for everything.So to pay for everything, I need to get a job, and then I won't be able to play soccer. My mom and dad also say education is more important because there is a huge chance you can get a good job if you go through college and university, but it is really hard to become a pro soccer player. And if I don't play soccer, I would like to be a doctor. Doctor's here in BC make an average $100,000 a year. Is that a good salary? Anyway, It is either soccer, which I love or Get a job, pay for a dog, and become a doctor. Which one do you think is better? And I already mentioned I am 13, is it too late to become a pro soccer player?
P.S, I forgot to ask, is there anyway I could stick to my studies, but still play at the highest level possible in soccer? I mean, if I become pro, then I will give up my other job, but for amateur, sunday league and semi-pro, is there anyway I can stick to my studies and still play at high school soccer, community league, and semi-pro. Maybe even national training. Because there is this other guy at my school (sullivan heights) who can do that, but I am wondering if I can too? But the guy doesn't make really good grades, but they are like a couple of a's some b's, but mostly c's. So if anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it a lot. Oh, and if there is a way, would I have to give up my chances of giving up my dog. Because I have three other siblings who could help pay for it.
Thanks!!!!! |
