or
POOP.
OK so here's what I need help with, and yes, i do realize who I'm asking. But I'll give it a shot anyway.
For a while I've been unhappy with my career. It's something I want to do on a freelance basis but i don't want it to be the only thing I do. It's a very sedentary job and while it can be creative, usually it's more just pandering to clients' preconceived ideas.
I want to go back to school/ or a program to be a personal trainer. That's right, I'm going to kick some ass. w00t BOOTCAMP LEILANI!!!!
If anyone can help me with figuring out which programs are good vs. which ones suck, PROS and CONS of this kind of stuff, etc. etc. Would you please drop me a line at uberleilani.at.gmail.com?
Thanks.

I don't understand what the question is. What do you mean "programs"? Do you really need certification to show people how to work out?
Any neandrathal can lift wieghts.
-----
yeah it is wise to be certified. You take classes in anatomy, physiology, fitness training, business etc.
----------
I see. Are those the same things it takes to be a gym teacher? You could get that degree in 6 months....even with half a brain.
I got asked to go into some personal trainer thing for my gym. I think the dude that asked me was a flamer though.

In other words, if you aren't working for a non-profit you're helping THE MAN destroy the Earth, one less obese person at a time.

I can't answer your question, however GO YOU for following your dreams and working at a goal. We spend a LOT of time at work, so it should be something we enjoy. Good for you, and you can make anything happen with the proper intention and trusting that you will manifest exactly what you want. That is so excellent.

Honey I went to college when I was 32 (am 35 now) because I wanted to be a florist years and years ago. Took me a long time to get round to it - but I passed, I have the certificates and I can open a shop when I want.
Am just working in London for another couple of years to earn loads and then move out, build a home myself and then get my own business opened up. In the meantime I'm freelancing as a florist from home and I've never been happier.
I'm with you all the way. Let me know what you choose girl.

Freelance design can be hella lucrative though, so it doesn't have to be all about poverty.
Plus, becasue it's slow when you're starting out and you'll be cutting corners, you can start with carbs and high-sugar processed snacks. That way you get to combine your personal training with your home life.
It's win-win all the way.... :)

No, it made sense phuzzygish. Thank you.
Yeah it's good to be in a position where I have the choice to do this financially. I mean corners will definitely have to be cut but it would be nice to like what I do, and then get to pick and choose design jobs.
Merlina-Thank you.

"i've been toying with this idea for a while and i don't know. I don't think I can do the whole corporate design thing for much longer though. it's positively unfulfilling and while i know that work is work i don't want to waste my time with something i'm not really enjoying. "
While a paycheck is kinda important, doing something day in and day out that kills you, (especially something like corporate design where you have absolutely no freedom to actually 'design' anything) will slowly break you down until you hate the very thing you wanted to do - in your case, making pretty with the fonts and pictures.
My opinion? Getting out of a ball-numbingly job that makes you hate what you love is vital. You may lose a little in the finance department, but it spurs you on to get that next job, or try that new thing like P. Training... Go for it.
Plus, you have a hubby to pay for things. Exploit that! :)

well it's not that i need help getting fit. i don't want to choose some program and have potential employers be like "Oh you went to Bulky McSteroid's School of Personal Training? Well meh, we're not going to hire ya"
in other words, i need to know what to look for when choosing a program, because if i am going to do this i don't want to be half assed about it.
