So, with all the education I could get, from the international stunt school, stunt-stage, and the Toronto Acting Academy, what kinds of jobs could these lead to? Well, there is obviously the first option of being a stunt double. But I do also have a few other options. With the acting education, I could end up as an actor, and even doing my own stunts. A third option I could consider is a stunts co-ordinator, after a few years of stunt doubling.Pretty much, I would have the option of a few careers in the filming industry from my post-secondary education. However, with the very physical regiment of the stunts part of my training, I would also be very fit. So, any job that requires athleticism I could consider. For example, as training to be a stuntman would take a lot of working out properly, I would have knowledge on workout programs, exercises, and living healthy. With this, I could become a personal trainer. Another option would be as the owner of a parkour gym. Many famous free-runners, such as Jesse LaFlair or Pasha own their own gyms or run parkour classes. This could be a plausible option for me if stunt doubling doesn't go so well for me.So in the end, any job in the filming industry, or that includes physical activity is an option for me.

My second option for stuntman training, is the international stunt school. Unlike the last one, this would be a four week course down south in America. This four week course would include three weeks on utility stunts, such as weaponry, driving, fighting, and much much more. The last week or so would be on aerial intensive training, such as high falls and wire works. This would mean I would have more time during my school year, but this course is much shorter than the stunt stage training. However, this doesn't mean that it is worse. Stunt people who have taken this course have gone on to double in movies such as Avengers, The Dark Knight, and even maze runner! There is the option of doing both of these stunt training courses, but that would be just that much more expensive. I f I really wanted to get good, I would take both this summer course and the stunt-stage school.
