You're probably best off if you choose a career as CEO of a transnational corporation.

can't you do both? get physical therapist assistant degree, then start your own training business on the side. however you need to build a reputation before you become a trainer. are you sure physical therapy assistant is <2 years? Here in indiana there is red tape with health degrees, so every 2 year degree is actually 3.5-5.5 years.
There are also 1 year degrees, these are usually 'blue collar engineering' jobs. HVAC technician, electrician, plumber, carpenter, construction, etc. They don't have 17-19 hr though unless you are lucky enough to join a union.

PT is major bank. Waaay more than the hourly rate you quoted. If you like that sort of thing, you should go that way.
BTW you can be anything you want......except a newspaper editor.

I have my body treatment/ therapist qualifications that I obtained along side my P.E. degree years ago and I made 20-25 pounds (30-35 dollars) an hour doing massage for clients. All the money in the world wouldn't make me massage a fat person now though *shudders*. I just help out my mate (who also holds said qualifications and is a Muay Thai instructor) do massages on his fighters pre/ post-bout for free as a favour.
Look into getting qualifications that let you do coaching/ sports with children (5+) perhaps - Sports Development Coaches/ Casual Coaches I know make 10 quid an hour (15+ dollars), and that's just the guys that aren't fully contracted. The whole industry is booming "thanks" to soaring child obesity rates.
if you want to devote your time in school to be a PT just be a radiologist or something. people that deal with CTs and MRIs make decent money. theres even some nursing jobs where you dont have much hands on with the patients. PT is a disgusting job, IMO. and personal training doesnt pay that much unless you do it on your own. unfortunately, its not easy doing it on your own

For a long-term career I would look beyond an hourly wage. You could incorporate both of these skills into a fitness business. PT would probably get you more cash in hand to start if you get hired by a reputable gym.

hey bro,
Just a suggestion.
Their is a big demand for nurses. (especially male nurses) They have accelerated programs. L.P.N. in just over a yr. and R.N. in about 2 more. I know a guy who is an Rn and is pulling about $80k. (and he is marrying and hot Dr.) If you are real interested in fitness, I am sure there is nursing degrees that are somewhat related.
think about it.. NurseGeorgie24 = rooster in the hen house.
and I bet you would look good in those white stockings. LOL

Think about it bro. The girls who are nurses around here work 3 12hr shifts a week. But, they get paid for 40hrs. I know one who is like a temp nurse. They call her all the time and she only works when she wants. ($45/hr)
Really, I just want to see you post a pic of you in those white stockings in your gallery.LOL
