    Hi!

    I am currently in 6th year and will be finishing up with school in a few weeks, I'm still deciding on the course I want to do.

    I would really love to study exercise and health fitness or leisure management, there nothing I would like to study more, but for work after college, what are the choices?
    I know you could be a personal trainer and stuff, but when I see a lot of personal trainers in different gyms they don't seem to do much.. Everyone does their own thing. I would love to teach people about exercise and health or own a leisure club, has anyone got any ideas on what jobs I could do if I do the course? Or even some gyms that would be quality places to work? I am considering Britain too.

    I really know very little about this sort of thing apart from I was told that jobs in gyms etc tend not to be paid all that well.
    You should post your question in the Health and Fitness forum as well - should be lots of people in the know there.;)

    Work is nonexistent at the moment, I did the NTC course and could not find work mainly because as I finished the rescission hit an a load of top notch trainers got let go from one of the big chains to the market was wayyy over saturated, pay is crap working for a gym the only way you will make any decent money is working for your self I.e running classes or opening your own gym,
