Do you have a fitness or health related job?

Tell us about it!

How you got it, how much you make, and the pros and cons of the field.

Health education specialist reporting.

>How you got it
I actually started out as an EMT-B, then got my EMT-P and started working in the ER at a university hospital as a tech.

Since I was working 12 hour shifts, I worked on weekends and went to school full time during the week. Since I was also a full time employee of the university, half my classes were paid for. Pretty sweet gig.

Anyway, I got my BS in health promotion and took the CHES (certified health education specialist) exam. I have a few other minor certifications on top of it (certified diabetes educator, certified weight management coach, certified addiction treatment counselor, etc.) that my employer paid for over the years.

To make a long story short, I see patients whose shitty lifestyles got them put in the hospital, and educate them on how to not fuck their body up anymore and get back to normal.

No, because I am intelligent and like to earn high amounts of money.
