Should i play football or work?

Question

I'm in High school and I'm really good at football. so good that my sophomore year my school was playing one of the top schools in the state and my school is one of the worst for football in the country. There was collage scouts looking at the other team and ends up looking at me with my 4 sacks plus several tackles. they asked my coach about me. right now im not playing football because i got a job. What should i do? If you were in my spot what would you do. thanks

Answer 1

well id keeep your job but then practice some football in your free  time the money will come in handy and you will get a little better at football for next year and you might be able to buy some nice equipment

Answer 2

Football is a great sport! And this is comming from a girl! Keep playing football if scouts are looking for you.  You could be famous.  But if scouts were'nt looking a you I would still work.

Answer 3

I would play football but you should have something to fall back on in case that doesn'tt work.  Try to get a colledge education just in case.

Answer 9

play football and anything else lawful that you can do while you are young -enjoy your teen years-go to college-plenty of time to work after you get a good education

Answer 10

If you enjoy football - play football.  You have the rest of your life to work - and perhaps it will help pay for some college (or juco).

If you need to work to buy something (car) or help support family, then the choice gets tougher.

Answer 11

You have the rest of your life to work...play now, your still a kid have fun with it.  Besides how cool would it be to play D1 college ball

Answer 12

When I was in high school I quit playing baseball so I could get a job. I wanted a car and I had a girlfriend I wanted to take out. In hindsight, I wish I would have kept playing. I was pretty good and who knows what could have happened. Regardless, the money you make with a typical high school job isn't great and probably isn't worth you giving up on your dreams.  

Answer 13

I would play football an work part time
