JESSICA SCHULTZ – PHYSICAL THERAPY ASSISTANT

Known for being a former member of the Olympic Curling Team, Jessica Schultz was an American athlete who won the gold in the Women’s National Curling Championship and fourth place in the World Women’s Curling Championship in 2013. Not only was she an amazing curler, Jessica was also able to balance being a student-athlete, graduating from Lake Superior College with a Physical Therapy degree. Today, she made good use of her bachelor’s by pursuing a career as a Physical Therapy Assistant. We bet her earnings from her current career and past competitions are enough to pay off her student loans.

Not everyone who makes it big in professional sports decides to return to their studies and pursue a professional career after they retire in the arena, but Schultz took the road less taken and proved herself to be not only someone productive but also someone who is very disciplined in her life choices.
