If you were a woman, I'd just say get a boob job and become a cardio fit slut trainer.


As a male, not so easy.

Hmmm, at this point: Repair relationship with father

You should do what makes you feel happy. You're like 25 or so, which means you need an established career choice within around 2 or 3 years.

Massage therapy won't be very high paying, so don't fork out lots of money on the qualifications if the benefit doesn't exceed the cost. That isn't just measured in physical benefits and costs, which is where the happiness part comes in ;)

not really unless he doesnt want a family, kids, etc

its difficult with no career/money

why not just study physiotherapy and get the bachelors/masters (not sure which in us) thats required? that way you'll actually be a health professional, get paid more and be able to exercise more expertise

so my plan is to get certs for Personal Training and Physical Therapist Aid

I will also be a licensed Massage Therapist.


As a business aspect from guys that have already worked with the fields that I know some of you have,

-What do you think I can make an hour doing all 3 fields, are pay raises only good from 4 yr colleges and degrees?
-what places would I most likely work in that I could utilize all 3 aspects? (besides my own clientele)
-what do you think would be a good place to work at? (Im thinking hospital? but they might want a degree?)



Since Everest shutdown, I will be going to Southern CA Health Institute for their program that offers PhysTherapist Aid/MT in the same program. They also have another program for PhysTrainer I can do after.
total school time would be about 10 months each, 20 if I take their PTraining program as well. But I could also just get NASM on my own Already have the book....

what you think bros?



This way I can Train people, Offer rehab through joint ROM and stretches, Get those knots out or relax ppl with massage. How many ppl do you know can do all 3? Are they successful? are they rare to find? Thoughts??

I will look into this ty

EDIT: that's just another way of saying physical therapy. Which I have no interest in 8 years of schooling at my age. PHysical therapy assistants make the same money and I also may do that, it's a 20 month program. Mixed in the one I want to start is 10 so I could have 2 certs and one license behind my name. I just walked past a gym that had fitness and rehab maybe I'll look for gyms like that.
