i love health and fitness but i don't know if being a fitness trainer is a good paying job. i would like to travel and have a good income when im older. i do good in school and speak 3 languages but being a doctor, lawyer, accountant or anything like the stereotypical good paying jobs sounds like torture to me. so would it be a good idea to become a trainer.
 
Heh - Kiss goodbye to earning a fortune mate. It's very unlikely it will happen.

A very few earn some great money at it though - Some are my personal friends who genuinely train the likes of Sly Stallone & Daniel Craig. They earn a very good living.

For the rest of us it's the love of the job.

I'm personally well qualified enough to make a lot of money in a variety of jobs - I'm also an ex - highly paid - soldier. Demolition, close protection, IT, CT, all aspects of security. I now choose the life I have for one reason - not money - my life is better because I am doing what I love to do.

Make your choice, but from years of experience, don't make it based on the cash.
 
In order to travel or have a good income, it is going to depend on what you decide to do as a personal trainer. I have heard that boot campss are great for making money, but obviously you will not be able to travel much. Training individually and making a lot of money will depend on how sought out of a personal trainer you are, generally when you are beginning and a bit inexperienced, you will naturally make less, than if you are more experienced and well know.

But loving health and fitness is not enough to make you a good personal trainer. I can tell you from personal experience caring is what is going to make you a top notch personal trainer. You have to want to help people, if you don't your clients will see right through this and you will only ever be a mediocre trainer.

I understand how hard it can be to decide what you want to do with your life, (I changed majors 6 times, lol) but I hope this helps you some and good luck. :)
