what is your life like?

[robertoblanco]

hey guys & ladies,

i'm considering becoming a personal trainer or getting into the fitness industry in some other capacity. so i was wondering what your lives are like. what do you do exactly? do you enjoy your work? what is your annual income? what level of education have you attained? how long have you been doing what you do? where are you located? i'm especially interested in replies from canadians especially ontarians.

at this point i'm considering either the fitness industry or trades so if you hold either occupation feel free to post.
thanks A LOT to those who reply. i've been struggling with this decision for a while so any feedback is appreciated greatly.

well my buddy loves it, and he makes over 80k a year. Hes ripped to shreds though. got 21' bi's a huge ass chest, back. He's about 6'4 270 8 or 9% bf right now. Sure he took a lot of roids over the years, but he always tells me, "with PT you sell yourself, if you look like the next arnold you will be getting mad clients". so i guess its a dependence on location, your charisma and social skills, knowledge of lifting and nutrition, and how you look.

if your huge, then hell yeah! theres a lot of money to be made.
