      Entry Level

      "Having played volleyball and basketball through high school and basketball at the collegiate level, my other career path would have probably been in coaching athletics. My coaches that I worked with through my playing career helped me and inspired me both in play and in my personal life. Knowing that I have great leadership and motivational skills would transfer greatly to being a head coach at these levels. To satisfy this passion, I'm looking forward to coaching my daughters should they pursue youth athletics."

      Answer Example

      "Had I not pursued a career in healthcare as a Respiratory Therapist, my other dream job would have been working as a wildlife biologist focused on the woodland creatures in my native Midwest. I grew up in the outdoors, and the balance of the ecosystem and how it affects animals like deer, bears, squirrels, and birds was always intriguing to me. Outside of work, I volunteer at the local animal shelter because of my love for animals."

      Experienced

      "If I were allowed to jump into another career other than being a Respiratory Therapist, I would definitely be a commercial pilot. Traveling is one of my family's favorite hobbies, and I would love the ability to see the world as a pilot. As a young child, airplanes were always very intriguing and awe-inspiring to me. Even now, I get goosebumps on my flights as the plane taxis down the runway prior to takeoff."
