23sean23 · 09-10-2009, 03:47 AM

So i finish school this year, next year im gonna study personal training just for a chilled year and for my own knowledge.. but the year after i want to study nutrition.
Anyone studying it or thinking about studying it?

Thinking of possibly going into it after I've:

1. got cert III and IV in personal training
2. become a trained exercise physiologist
3. done some bbing course thing they offer somewhere

It's my backup if I somehow fail in an epic fashion and can't get into law

Id like to, but I don't have the pre reqs to get in to the University course as it stands right now.

When I finish IT, I'll probably go for a degree in nutritionism.

The things that turned me away from that field were:

1) Low income.

2) Hard to find a job.

3) Very bias views to nutrition.

JMO.

Im planning to do almost same thing, but just out of interest whats the bbing course thing? havent heard of it before? you mean the strength and conditioningt thing can do/ diploma in fitness?

You thinking of doing tafe or AIS/FIA or one of those things?

I dont know about there, but here in South Africa the income isnt bad at all, and its quite a specialized field so there arent to many around here..

I had that as my major for a semester, they talked to us about $40k a year for a 5 year degree

i was like "fuk this, I'm doin somethin else"

Ya it is quite a long course, here iv heard that for an assessment its like R400...for just giving someone a diet...thats not to bad..

I was thinking about this for the future. I like biology but the really really deep stuff kinda bores me a little. But I'm interested in diet and nutrition a lot I'll probably do a course at college.

I read about the course in Iron Man magazine.

http://www.bodybuildingcourse.com/

I'm signing up for a course soon (starts October 1) with AIPT through a local gym. It costs about $4000 for a 12 month course. (come out with cert. III and IV)

The bodybuilding course will help myself and also I can specialise in physique conditioning/bodybuilding.

I'm either going to be a pharmacist or a MD and then switch over to and MD of nutrition...that way I'm raking in mad dough, and in a field I would love.

IMO this is one of the things that draws me to it, I love the debates that go on, and if it wasn't for them people wouldn't go as in depth to research more and more on the matter.
