anyone know about this field and if it a good one to get into. I want to help other people the same way i have helped myself, by helping them with the weight loss, gain, or maintenance journey. I think it would be something I would really like, as well as getting more time with my family than I get with my current job.

I am curious to hear what people say. I have considered this as well, but I think I'd really like to go more in the direction of nutrition/dietician.0

A bachelors in Kinesiology would be what you want to pursue jobs in the that area.0

If you plan to pursue a job in nutrition/dietician field, be sure the program you take is accredited by the American Dietetic Association. Otherwise, you can not get licensed.0 -
what about certification? what do I have to do to become certified? do i have to have a degree?0

to become a personal trainer you need at least a cert 4, you need a cert 3 to teach classes at the gym (i.e. pump etc) but i am going for a degree as i wanna own my own gym one day0
