anyone know any cool hands on fitness careers?

I like the personal trainer idea but what other fitness careers are fun out there?

I've had a real kick out of supplement formulation. As long as you love pouring over medical journals and case studies for hours and hours. It's quite rewarding when a company calls you up to help them make something.

Being a Dietitian is rewarding but does take a lot of schooling.

Inventing new equipment is lucrative as long as you can look your friends in the eye after they see your infomercial at 10:30 at night.

Being a gym owner is a great way to make money as long as you have a staff to train people if you don't plan on doing so yourself.

And massage therapy is REALLY good money if you're a female. Males tend to take a hit in that field because guys don't like being touched by other guys and females think that a guy will dig in too deep and possibly hurt them. (I work part time in a massage therapy clinic for extra cash)

Oh yea! I used to work at Kaiser permanente in the doctors offices... COULDN'T STAND IT. I hated working with sick people all the time. So I decided to go into fitness and nutrition to keep them from getting sick in the first place.

I can honestly say it's the best move I ever made.
