"ok, i have some advice now: i think you should become a professional personal trainer. take the courses, get the diploma/certificate (make sure the courses are accredited by the ACSM), and you will be set. scope of personal training is good for the next few years. demand has been rising, and there aren't enough qualified people. you will get a job at a sports/health club, not making much money, but it will be supplemented by good money from private clients in the evenings and on off-days. IF YOU ARE GOOD, and once word spreads enough, you can quit and either go freelance full time and make shit loads of money, or even open your own business. that's what i would do in your situation, and maybe even now that's what i would one day in the near future, even though i have an MS in operations research from NCSU."

"i have financial goals for myself that wouldn't happen if i did PTA school"

did you have these goals going when you were an undergrad?

1. do what you can
2. try to get in again
3. if you fail, you'll either have to sacrficie living with the woman for a year or two or cut down those goals a bit.

^^ well yeah, although as i've gotten older the goals have come down a little bit, lol

i signed up for that online anatomy/physiology class so i guess i've answered my own question and sticking with the PT track. the shit costs close to a grand to take though
