Default Simple question regarding PT salaries

Hey all,
My question will be simple but I feel like I need to give some background on me first. Skip it if you like.

I just graduated college in December 06 with degrees in international business and marketing. I am currently doing temp work. 9-5 type office work making what would be ~ $30k a year if I stayed at the job.
It is pretty damn depressing to me to be sitting in front of a desk all day long just watching the clock tick down. I downright dread going to work because it is so boring and soul-crushing. There is not one thing I enjoy about it. Not the people, not the clothes I need to wear, not the job responsibilities. I am starting my way on the business path because I majored in that field and the future prospect of money seems promising. But inside it absolutely kills me to think I might be stuck doing something this boring for the rest of my life. Sure, there may be some business jobs that aren't typical, but right now I wish I could be a Personal Trainer AND make good money.
I am 22, in very good health. Attached is an old pic of me, I am more proportionate now, and leaner, the improvement is very noticeable. Friends seek advice from me about working out and eating right frequently, and I really enjoy sharing with them my knowledge or taking them to the gym with me. I think it would be very rewarding to be able to do this for other people too. However, I cant deny that the potential to make at LEAST over $60k/yr before 30 is a must for me.

So my question is: Is it possible for a PT to make > $60k/yr? If so what circumstances would need to be given for this to be possible

thank you,
