I’m going into my sophomore year at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I’m currently an undeclared major and have been sifting through every possible choice in major and have finely decided between two majors: Kinesiology (possibly pre-physical therapy) and Journalism. I have played 3 organized sports (football, baseball, basketball, and golf), football and baseball the longest, ever since I was 3 and my mom is a marathon runner who has helped me greatly on fitness training and dieting/nutrition, which I have taken with great dedication, but I have also been a real writer’s nut. I have always scored A’s on papers in school (All A’s on my college papers) and my english professor has even commented on my efforts and asked me if i had been interested in english/journalism as a major. I have also written a lot of articles on sports, cars, other hobbies, etc. in my free time. I’m a witty and argumentative writer. The only problem is that I can’t decide which route I would like to take. Could anyone give me some insight on career prospects for both (especially given the economy and where it’s at) as well as employment stability, pay, and other aspects of both majors and the careers that they lie under? If someone could dig up an opinion/view that I hadn’t considered before, it would help me greatly! Thanks.
I mean 4 sports. My bad.
First, UIC does not have a journalism major. You will have to get an English degree. There is not a lot of need for English majors.
UIC has two kinesiology majors in the College of Applied Health Sciences. One is kinesiology, and that has a more traditional physical education view. If you are thinking about PT, than Movement Science will be the better choice. It focuses on biomechanics and the like.

In the current economy, you cannot go wrong in healthcare. Physical therapy propects remain excellent.
I would think journalism would be a tough sell…especially with the slow death of newspapers..
