Does anyone have any suggestions on a new career field?

We Answered:

well one job i cant think of is being a teacher. if you taught wellness you would be working with both adults and children, and yould teach them about their health, nutrition, fitness... all the things you seem interested in. also, you would have the whole summer off to go on vacations and travel the world

I'm making a career move and would like to move into fitness...?

I use to be a personal trainer. It's a good field and the money is pretty good ($20-50/hr.). The only downside is the hours (you have to be able to meet with your clients whenever they are available). Also, depending on where you work they may only give you a few clients and then you will have to try to find more on your own. I don't want to discourage you though because it is a fun field to work in.

You really have to watch out on the certifications. Some of them are rip-offs and many places won't accept them. Since you have a bachelor's degree you can take any of them (doesn't matter what it's in). Here are the three I would recommend that are accepted at most places.

CSCS (if you also want to work with athletes in team settings) or the NSCA-CPT. Both of these are through the NSCA. These are accepted pretty much everywhere and are very good certifications if not the best. However, they are more expensive and the tests are more difficult (especially for the CSCS).

ACSM Certification. Another good organization and accepted almost everywhere.

ACE Certification. Probably the least expensive and easiest. However, it may not be accepted by as many places. Although, I knew several personal trainers who had ACE and they had no problem.

These organizations will sell you the material needed to study for the test or include it in the testing fee.

Concerning the jobs, it can sometimes be competitive depending on where you live. If you live in a bigger city, you will have a better chance at getting a personal training/fitness instructor job.

Hope this helps!
