I have an important question, i am 19 years old and i am in the 1st yeah of Economics.
I have choosen this course because i think it will give me more opportunities to work in the future and a good financial situation. My dilema is that i really like sports and such, and if there were no financial-factor involved in my decision i would rather study Science of the Sport, Physical Education and possibly after do a post-graduation degree in nutrition. However i cant see where i could work with such an academic formation other than in a gym, been a PE teacher in a school, or things like that, and all those kind of work dont give you a good financial reward.
So what do you guys think about that?

**** bro i know that i would rather get up every morning and actually not mind going into work rather than getting up hating my job just so i could get lot of money.
Anyways who is to say that ppl dont make money in the fitness industry i know heaps of ppl who are rich and making **** loads from personal training, fitness membership sales, teaching classes, working for supplement compaines reps and stuff the list goes on for ever.WHAT do you call a Bodybuilder with big balls ?

You can go into law from almost any undergrad degree. I'm in physics, and I plan on going to law school. Great thing with law is that as far as undergrad goes you can take whatever you enjoy incase you change your mind about law. Consider a career in law, especially from econ as corporate lawyers make tons of $$

You can probably do a double major, either econ and kinesiology (or something fitness related) or you could do commerce and something fitness related.
It's not that much more work than a single major (they'll probably drop some of the "required" courses from each program - at least, they do here)...A man without religion is like a fish without a bycicle.

You know, a similiar dilemma made me switch from Chemical Engineering to Biochemistry.
Unfortunately i don't know much about economics, except that it is fascinating and that you can make good money with it.
I do know a bit more about the fitness industry, and that it is definately tough to make a lot of money out of it, it however, can be done. As many said, if you love what you do, you'll do it well.
There are definately a need for business men in every industry, including the fitness industry. Perhaps you can minor in exercise science or kinesiology, if you have enough electives. With some degree of knowledge in both feilds, you could be a great help to a supplement company of a fitness equipment company or something like that. I get the feeling that there is always a need for certain individuals to bridge certain aspects of industry for any work to be done. Even if you wanted to be a personal trainer.. the really successful ones need to know how to handle a small business of their own or else they'll crash and burn.
Maybe something to discuss with a counsellor.. they can be surprisingly helpful with that sort of thing.
(I had no idea what to do to get the hell outta engineering and into biochem until I talked to a counsellor).

Do what earns you good money and you don't mind doing. For me, something in avionics, possibly air traffic control..

well man, I am 17 years old and am in my first year of a bachelor of engineering (software engineering) and im planning to do a minor in biomedical engineering.
This is definitely not even close to number one on the list of jobs, but i figure it will act as a means to access all the things i want to. There are some things i want to do in life that i need money for...Don't get me wrong though, i do enjoy what i study, its no use studying something you hate, doing something you hate, for 2/3 of your life and realising it was a waste...sneaky_ferrit@hotmail.com -> msn

I dont understand why some people go to get a 4yr degree in college and end up being a personal trainer? Strength coach for the NSCA yeah .. i can see it, cuss its the ONLY certification program the REQUIRES a 4yr degree. Its also a very upper level program.. test is like 6hrs long.. 3hrs of visual testing.. its hard as ****.
If you want to be a PT go for the ISSA or ACE, I plan on having both of them this summer before i even get outta HS.
