My only issue with the Athletic Training article is the photo. The article talks about Athletic Trainers working in health and rehabilitation setting and that the job market is growing above the national average which is all good for the profession. But the picture of a man assisting the lady doing a sit-up in a gym is the best picture that could be found? There are much better photo examples of the daily life of Athletic Trainers than the one which was choosen. The photo which was chosen only plays into the sterotype that Athletic Trainers help people in the gym.

Homer, not only are you mistaken regarding the athletic profession, but it is also obvious by the fact that you are unable to construct complete sentences that you could benefit from the education that the majority of our profession has completed.

I cannot believe what homer has stated. Being an athletic trainer is a great profession. Athletic training as a profession is not dying, but continuing to grow and expand into many realms. Not only are athletic trainers in the "traditional" roles, such as college and high schools, but we are expanding out to locations such as orthopedic clinics as physician extenders and as ATadvocate stated in the performing arts and industrial setting. It is a very poor assumption to state we get no respect from administrators, coaches and other healthcare providers, in fact it is asinine. I am offended to think someone would make such a statement. Athletic trainers are extremely well educated (about 75% of people in our profession have a degree beyond a bachelors degree) and vital to providing health care to the physically active. HomerSimpson seems to be quite pompous and maybe he is upset because his profession did not make this list! Lets keep informing the world about our profession and work hard to show people what we can do and are capable of!

Homer - you are sorely mistaken. Athletic training is anything but a dying profession, and it is cool! We are making a name for ourselves as medical professionals, demanding (and in the majority of cases, getting) higher salaries, more respect, and higher quality of life, and we are also finding niches in unique settings such as performing arts and industrial occupations. People - If you are interested in becoming an athletic trainer, go for it! The best is yet to come! Our skill set is unique, and there is no other health care professional like the athletic trainer. In one day, there is potential for the athletic trainer to see a life-threatening injury, a fracture, and a concussion, and also have the chance to impart knowledge on their patients (nutrition, injury prevention, hydration, I could go on but I'll spare you). Rather than give up what you want (athletic training), join the ranks and work for positive change!!

How is being an athletic trainer cool - you are almost guaranteed to have to work tons of hours for little or no pay while getting little to no respect from administrators, coaches, and most other healthcare providers. Do yourself a favor and become a nurse. Athletic training is dying profession!!! Unless they find a way to require insurance companies to reimburse for services.

As and ultrasound tech with fifteen years of experience I think this is great field for those that need a job that is challenging, rewarding and interesting on a day to day basis. To be able to actually see bodily functions as they are occuring in the body, blood flowing, heart beating, etc is an amaizing thing. To me every day is a new day and I find my job as interesting today as I did when I began 15 years ago. Burn out, I guess it happens to some ultrasound people, but a lot of us agree that it will never happen to us.

I think people should start looking at Respiratory Therapists. We are often overlooked in the healthcare field, but we play a vital role in the care of patients on ventilatory assistance. Nurses are not the only ones with one on one caregiving in this field. Give some recognition to the Respiratory health professionals as well.

I think someone should think about Licensed Massage Therapist as well. We are also an important part of healthcare that is greatly overlooked.
