What is a lucrative career or field that I should pursue if I have an interest in health, fitness, nutrition, kinesiology, exercise science, etc.?

>inb4 personal trainer

I don’t need to be making a 6 figure income, but I’d like to make a decent salary.

There are fuckloads of jobs in this sector, and it's growing. It's relatively easy as biological sciences go too.

PT is probably on the low end of the scale in terms of prestige, money and qualification. If you do a BSci in sports, health and nutrition, you will have government money thrown at you by the truckfull.

e.g. my city has a dozen nutritionalists working in GP surgeries on £30k for absolutely no work. Private nutritional institutes pay more. Physiotherapists in hospitals are on £30k too, the good ones go on to sports clubs and end up on 6 figures. If you're academically minded the civil service pays well when you advance in a few years. Alternatively you could get paid huge amounts by GlaxoSmithKline to conduct impartial research in to their products' long term effects on health or their efficiency in doing whatever they're supposed to do. Physical Education teachers have a pretty high job satisfaction, and the pay rockets if you take qualification courses like first aid or child counseling, or take a head of year or head of department role.

i havent posted on a chan board in years, but i will weigh in with the following credentials:

BS in kinesiology
MS in Exercise Physiology (top 3 school in USA)
2 years deep in PhD in Muscle Physiology
Doctoral fellow in Sports Med
CSCS
USAW
have worked with special forces, olympic athletes, and NFL.

NONE ARE LUCRATIVE. if you REALLY think this is neat, do it for that alone. to believe this is a monied field is false. Go into medicine if you want $. if you want "the jack", go to the gym after work. I can tell you what. after 10 years, you are going to get tired of teaching people for the 10,000th time how to squat, bench, Oly, and deadlift.

ive been doing ameture matches for a long while, ive had 30 matches, i want to go pro but not sure if good enough.
i would definitely recommend doing armature fights, see if you can find a cornerman in your gym, most people who do it are fucking slow with strong punches so its easy
