What she would choose if she had a job, Gough said: “When I was younger I’ve always wanted to be a marine biologist. As I got older, I realized how much school work was going to take, so I Checked it out in a way.
“I’d say I’d choose a marine biologist or a sports psychologist, but both of those fields take a lot of years in college and I’m not committed to it,” she said with a smile.
