However if you want to become a PE teacher, I think it is a great career especially because you are in the school system. That means you have consistency, security, and good benefits! Not to mention the long breaks like winter and summer break since you’ll be with the school year

      Most of the time you will need a masters. This is the situation I’m in now. I got certified last February and haven’t been able to find a position or even land an interview since.
      I have my bachelors in Kines/exercise phys and ACSM certified EXC PHYS with 2 years of clinical experience, and 2 years of upper management experience.
      Employers are wanting candidates with a masters degree as well as a large list of other skills and qualifications.
      Hope this helps, and all the best to you

It is super fulfilling and it is a profession that you can feel good about yourself because you can see your direct impact on a weekly basis. It is also gratifying to be able to coach and mentor patients so that their behaviors can change for healthier outcomes in the future. As far as advice goes, I would highly recommend you look into my Online course I created (it’s pinned in the comments). It teaches you everything you need to know to get accepted into PT school. I created it for students like yourself who are lost with the process and need proper guidance so that you don’t waste time and money trying to figure things out.
      I’ve been in a similar situation as yourself and I remember when I decided to make a career change into physical therapy, I was so lost! That is why I created this course so it can give high-quality guidance

    Hey dude. Hope you're doing well.
    I'm a certified professional from ACE and a certified strength coach from NCSF. I'm considering a masters of kinesiology from Canada. You think it would make sense considering I'm already certified and it would be a significant investment as am international student. Cheers!

      It would depend on what your goal is. Are you trying to be a personal trainer? A strength coach for an university? PHYSIO?

      @@angadsngh01 to be honest I don’t know too much about how it is in Canada. But what I know is that if your goal is to be a PT and a strength coach, then is getting a masters in kinesiology going to specifically help you get to those goals? I think it might.. but I think it would be more cost effective if you went straight for your PT first

    What's your opinion on someone who wants to be a PTA with a Strength & Conditioning (CSCS) private training business as a side hustle?

      I think that’s probably one of the best ideas and path you can do. I’m not sure if you watched my other video on making money during pt school, but I talk about working as a personal trainer and training private clients. It’s bomb money
