Football

One of the most interesting jobs in the world is that of an NFL football player. The hard work and dedication of them is almost unmatched in the modern work world. During the season you spend 6-7 hours a day building up your body and preparing for Sunday afternoon, and then spend another 2-3 hours preparing your mind for the same affair. By the time they get home they are exhausted and almost have no time to spend with their families who have been waiting all day for them to come home. These men dedicate their entire life during the season to the game, and have very little time for other things to do. Even in the off-season, it is very rare for them to get long vacations or time off. Whether they are required to or not, they almost are always in the gym or on the field. They need to stay in shape so that come Fall, they are ready to go full speed and keep their job.
And that is another interesting thing about these players. They can be cut at virtually any time if they do not fit the cut of what their team requires from them. Imagine that, being able to lose your job and your stability at any time of the year because you were out worked by the next guy. The worst thing that happens to these guys is they can easily go from millionaires to homeless people if they land on their right leg funny and tear their ACL. It must put some pressure on them to compete and stay healthy-- the fact that they can lose it all in one 6 second play.
But, when you think about it, football is a pretty cool thing to do all day. You get millions of dollars to be role models for kids and get trained all day to become one of the best athletes in the world. Not only that, but you walk on to the field and hear everybody root for you and your team. You can watch TV and listen to them talk about your amazing abilities, or even walk into a local bar and sign a hundred autographs. Whatever you want, you can have. That must be a great way to make a living.
