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. So that quickly went away. And you know, at one point I even thought I was gonna be a relationship counsellor. 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. I was like, maybe I\u2019d be good at that. And I figured I\u2019d be responsible for more divorces than social media when I really thought about it. 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. I\u2019d probably be teaching and coaching.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brantley seems to have made the right choice.
