In fact, some of his choices might surprise you. He tells us:[\u201cI went to college for two years and figured it wasn\u2019t for me. But I couldn\u2019t decide between majors. At one point I thought about law enforcement. And then I looked around at me and my friends and knew that wasn\u2019t an option.\u00a0 So that quickly went away.\u00a0 And you know, at one point I even thought I was gonna be a relationship counselor. You know, that sounded good, cause all girls would come to me with their problems and I\u2019d write songs and talk \u2018em through it and all that.\u00a0 I was like, maybe I\u2019d be good at that.\u00a0 And I figured I\u2019d be responsible for more divorces than social media when I really thought about it.\u00a0 So that got X-ed out. I\u2019d probably be coaching if I had to guess. I really enjoyed that. I got to coach some football where I went to high school, before I left, and I had a good time with that. So I\u2019d say that\u2019s probably a safe bet.
