Should I wait until after I graduate?

Completely random but thought I'd ask for opinions. I want to become a personal trainer, thinking about taking a training course then get certified through ACSM. My question is.... I'm still in college, just starting my senior year. Do you think it'd be better to wait until after I graduate to do this? Or is there any reason why not to do it now? I only have one class and an internship this fall, so time commitment to studying wouldn't be a problem.

Thanks friends! :)

    If you have the time and desire, go for it. Never know what might come up later.

    I think you should wait until November 16, 2017. Just my opinion.

    Depends on your energy available.

    Are you working? Are you taking a huge semester work load? Do you have the funds available?

    Think of these things. If you will succeed doing it now rather then later then you should! Otherwise wait until you graduate. Maybe you work better doing one thing at a time? Or multiple distractions at once? Just need to step back and figure out what you would be up against.
