    I'm thinking maybe you should have asked that *before * starting your degree, but you should probably ask someone at your school, maybe do a little online research.

    My BS is in Kinesiology with an emphasis on exercise physiology. You can get your teachers certification and teach health courses and do a sport or PE. You can become a personal trainer or they even have entry level Health coach positions depending on where you live. I moved forward with my degree and went to PT school, but nursing, medical school, occupational therapy, athletic training may be an option for you as well. You will have to go to graduate school though. It's very hard to finds jobs with just a BS in Exercise Science, but you can find something....just may take time. Good Luck!

    How about a Philosophy degree? You should be able to find plenty of work with that.

    Almost nothing without further education. Look into exercise physiologist. I have a bachelors in exercise science as well.

    If you have an exercise science degree with a concentration...maybe focus on that concentration. I too have an exercise science degree with a public health concentration and a minor in health promotion education and behavior. I just branched on from that. Pursuing a Masters in management with a health care admin specialty. Currently work in management. Looking to enter healthcare field. My undergrad and grad degree will help this. And if you decide to pursue a Masters maybe you can just start over in something else. Nursing is a great idea too!

    I did exercise science as a prelude to going into Physical Therapy. Might check out that route if it sounds interesting.

    I have a BS in Sport Management and a minor in Exercise Science. I originally just wanted to go the route of facility operations but fell in such a passion with helping people in the health and fitness field that I literally wouldn't have thought I would be making a career being the head of a personal training department. But I've loved it every step of the way! :happy:
