You want to know the ironic part in all of this? I don't even need a degree to do what I want to do. I'm getting two degrees one in Exercise Science and one in Nutrition. But in all actuality the only thing you need to do to work in a gym setting is pass the ACE or some similar test to become certified (for insurance purposes). I want the knowledge and the hands on experience though. Then again I'm not just going to go work in some gym either, I have big plans for opening my own health center for the obese and one day a camp for overweight children.
