**MentalTwitch** · 10-09-2007 11:05 PM

Guys out of school more specifically.
Im still tryint o figure out my major i know i want something science, nutrition or chemistry somehthing along those line. I would love something to lead into supplements but right now it looks like im headed along the lines of...
Nutritionsist then...
Personal Trainer degree...
then business
And hopefully eventually open a gym or nutrition/supplement store.
I was even looking at something like Clinical Labratory Tech.

What year are you in college ?

It might make more sense to buy into a franchise like Vitamin Shoppe if you want to get into supplements. I'm not gonna say *** for obvious reasons. I like Vitamin Shoppe though, I go there alot.

I own/operate a family business. Machining and fabrication. A great field if you can get in with a good company. We're small enough that we don't hire, but big enough that we don't turn down much. Small enough that we can do custom parts and small runs, but big enough to do smaller production runs with high tolerance call outs.

I'm switching my major at semester to a Nutrition(Dietetics) major.

**Jayhawkk** · 10-09-2007 11:13 PM

I've actually been sitting on my GI bill for 6 years because I don't have a clue.

Nice. What school?State?
I am tryi to stick to sciences. I satrted off in mechanics but dint feel like doin the labor...haha but i lift all the time....makes sense huh. anyways. Something in health/sciences will pay pretty good anyway, id be happy around 35K+ i think.

I am a semester away from a BS degree in Exercise and Sports Science, then I can finally get my CSCS and train some athletes. I will go back to grad school after I save up for a few years.

ASU and Flordia State University have the best looking girls out of all the colleges in the US.

**Jayhawkk** · 10-09-2007 11:16 PM

35k a year really isn't much at all.

Yeah, when you factor in all the bills you will have nowadays, even if single it aint much but some fields pay worse.

Dont ever HOPE a significant other will be or do something. I have a cousin in the IT industry. He works for Apple. Well, he got married to a lovely woman, and she quit her job that week. She started spending and didn't stop for 5 months. Thats about the time he kicked her sorry ass out for good.

Be fsking careful when you talk about marriage. The **** is for real. You hear people ***** about how certain supplements are either illegal or dangerous...****, marriage should be scrutenized by the DEA and FDA. It will kill you if you don't do it just right.

i wouldnt rely but take into consideration that there would be more income. I understand completely that you never rely. My parents are divorced and my dad makes 75K plus as a computer programer. My mom well she is a coder at a hospital and makes enough for us to sqeak by on. ive been through some **** already and i knwo what needs to be done.

**ReaperX** · 10-09-2007 11:34 PM

being single 35K isn't a ton of money, but if you manage it properly you'll be alright.

I've said this time and time again to everyone I know and the thing is I also knew this too in college:

Make sure what you decide is something you enjoy (or atleast don't hate) or else your life will suck. There is nothing worse than choosing the wrong career path and hating your job everyday...because well, it is what you'll be doing for the rest of your life. It is a good thing that you know this though, but that should be your #1 factor in your career path. Money comes in at #2.

That's why I decided recently to change my major and just hope that it really turns out to be the best decision.

If you go nutritionist make sure you go to a school with the proper program eatright.org has info.
Dietician will be alil more "scientific" and structurally involved. gettin there is close to the same though, still need biology and scinces as far as i know.
