Synopsis: After looking into the Mettler center, I found it fascinating because one of my favorite things to do during my leisure time is working out. I am very interested in working in one of these facilities so I already have achieved certification for personal training back in Korea and am planning to get one for physical therapy as well. I will find enjoyment in working in one of these facilities (and earn money too!!). Although it would be hard to work since I have to deal with individuals all the time, I find it manageable. My father always mentioned that, the best jobs that one can get is : a job where you can do things that you like, and jobs that benefit others, and a job where you can make living out of. Facilities like Mettler Center seems to meet the criteria above and I would love to work in one of them in the near future.
