For Experience, of course, but as a college student, there comes a time when you can't do things for free because you focus so much of your time to studies and athletic training in general. And as a 4 yr. ATS in a high school working with more sports in high school than college. I accumulated more experience in high school (2500+ hrs volunteer experience) than grad students have, or any students going into any AT program in college. Sure, you might think that the pay is high, but remember that is a work-study through the college. The financial aid office sets the high limit of how much I can earn, so I calculate out how much I can make in such a period of time. So why not gett paid while going to school. I see this opportunity not only as a work-study but more as a job. I stay with in the boundries of my knowledge, supervised by an ATC and a ATC Grad-Assistant. If I have questions, I can always ask the ATC there whether it is the Grad-Assistant, or the Head ATC. The athletic training program does not pay me, the college does through a work-study.
