Questions About the Field

Hi, I'm only 19 years old, but have a passion for fitness. I have tried the ACE PT exam and failed the first time. I am re-taking it in November. I am currently going to a technical college. After reading all of this, it sounds like maybe a 4 year degree is better in the long run. I just want to know how you guys have started out. Since I'm so young, I don't know if I should continue on to more school and get that 4 year degree or just see how it goes after I'm finished at this tech school. I've interviewed plenty of personal trainers, and it seems like they all say that "EXPERIENCE" is huge in the fitness world. If you guys could recommend some ideas for me that would be great!


Thanks, Kayla
