i am a high school senior who has done track all my life, and upon my season ending have engaged in youtube yoga in my free time- very low key, at home, and on my own time the past few weeks. i’ve been more interested in yoga and decided to apply for a nearby corepower SET position to see more what actual studio yoga is about. i received an email back discussing the job, responsibilities, an interview date etc. after looking more into it i saw that because of the low amount of hours given for SET, its main draw is the discounts on teacher training. i’m wondering if i were to get the SET job, and do teacher training with the goal of eventually becoming a corepower instructor, would it be worth it? the options for me would be the 200hr in person and the 50 sculpt online. if i did the 200hr i wouldn’t audition at my studio here as i’d go away for college by the end of the program an would want to audition there (santa barbara)- where i don’t know how competitive the jobs are and lose any (if any) advantage of already being known at a studio. if i did the 50 hr sculpt i think i could try to audition in where id work SET already/around mid-late june, but im not sure if the online 50hr sculpt would prepare someone w less experience like me for an audition? and assuming i somehow did get the job off the summer audition, i leave in late september and there’s no guarantee i get the job at the location by my college- although hopefully a better chance? i’m very interested in the idea of being a yoga instructor as it would kill 2 birds with one stone in being my next means of staying active now that im leaving behind high school sports and be a way for me to earn money over the summer and hopefully in college, however the teacher training is still very expensive and im not sure if its worth doing if im not guaranteed to get a job out of it/ROI. any advice?

I am majoring in art history and would like to be a curator one day. due to merit, both schools cost me the same. i j got off UMiami waitlist and have been committed to UCSB, and i have found roommates for UCSB and visited. however, UMiami was my original dream school. i do wonder if ill struggle to find a roommate at UMiami if i go due to my later decision/acceptance. UCSB academics appeal to me as i believe (?) the school is more prestigious, however UMiami’s city location is likely better for internships, and also has art specific opportunities like Art Basal. since they kinda seem to even out in that perspective (i also could be wrong or mislead there lmk!!) as well as cost i think i’ve now been focusing on other factors like social a lot more. i like UCSB as it is known as a party school and Isla Vista is GORGEOUS, however i hear the “party school” is mostly just rep due to over policing, and things get shut down early. UCSB is also directly on beach. so. gorg. UMiami being in the city of Miami provides more things to do, but it’s no doubt expensive to do things and my parents have no plan or intention on paying for anything social for me such as greek life fees or going out, so UCSB is likely more affordable in that regard. i love how UCSB was in between mountains and beach, but would love to live in Miami. UCSB isn’t reliant on greek life socially which i also like and idk if UMiami is, but UMiami has football and UCSB doesn’t. Speaking socially i would be very excited to go to UMiami, however rush sounds more stressful. i’m very torn and just got off of waitlist so i have like a day to decide and i really dk. any advice?
