Exercise Physiologist

WIULifter · 01-12-2009, 06:53 PM

what about a dietician, could that be a job a kinesiology major could hold?

Austin109 · 01-12-2009, 06:54 PM

youd need a nutrition degree or cert to be a dietician.

im looking at collegiate strength and conditioning coaching

WIULifter · 01-12-2009, 06:55 PM

ahh i am ignorant, Dietetics is its own little major. I didnt know if the two intertwined or not.

alixdizzle · 01-12-2009, 06:55 PM

Naw, you need a nutrition degree to be any time of dietitian. they are two completely diffrent paths.

WIULifter · 01-12-2009, 06:57 PM

seems like options for a kinesiology major are quite limited.

Got a minor in secondary education to go along. My original intent was to teach PE, but went into business instead where money was more lucrative.

From what I've heard if you're looking for a job straight out of college with a kines degree the prospects aren't too great for that major either.

WIULifter · 01-12-2009, 07:25 PM

maybe you could major in biology, chemistry, or sports medicine, and work for the FDA?

I dont know how people respond to the FDA here, they are most likely hated among supplement users, however government job, good paying salary, do what you gotta do

I was a strength & conditioning coach and also a personal trainer. I wrote numerous articles for websites and magazines. I have used what I learned in college with my Kinesiology degree as well as a business minor and am now a Regional Manager for MET-Rx/Worldwide Nutrition. I also help formulate new products.

I credit all that to my hard work in college majoring in Kinesiology.

there isn't much work for KNSS majors straight out of school. Most need to go to grad school or use it as a springboard into some type of therapy.
I'm using it to get into physical therapy

whats your major emphasis on kinesiology??
physical therapy, fitness/nutrition, athletic training?

intern at a professional sport team or even college teams.

if not then look into specialized training centers like soldier rehab clinics, old folks homes, or "athletic performance centers" which basically is a specialized camp for sports to make the individual better for a sport.
