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??

thats boring noty

you can probably be a cook at denny's

on a more serious note, my former neighbor was going into massage therapy. doesn't pay all that great from what i heard.

imo research the jobs prior to shelling out $$ for a cert/degree/etc. i've known a lot of people go to school for something just to realize nobody cares about it.

well i have and they all make good money, but I wanted to broaden my aspects to not just training and not just therapy. If I can offer more, I should be getting more in return.

PT aid gets paid a lot less than an actual PT and it's not exactly a job you go into as a career since you'll be only assisting an actual PT with his work.

i know this, it is just the basic level of PhysTherapy, I just want something saying that I have some knowledge of it.


My main job will be to assess my own clients using knowledge from all 3 aspects. Im just figuring out where I can do this or I need to have my own business.

Why don't you just go to college? You say your dad is extremely wealthy correct? He should have no problem sending you to school for a couple years to at least get you an associates degree

me and my father dont even communicate, I do not plan on either. Thanks for the thought though.

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
