I'm one of those people--not quite $100k in debt but still owe over $20k. I have an MBA in Human Resources but work for the Air Force as a civil service employee and make well below what my degree should demand. Doing nothing related to my education. My college had a really crappy career development department & did nothing to help me find a job in my field.
BUT I make a decent salary & can support myself. And most importantly I love the people I work with & my job (on most days). I wouldn't trade it for the world & know that you can't make enough money to make up for working with people you don't like & doing a job you hate.
Take your time--don't wast money on a 4-year school. Go to community college & get your basics (English, math, sciences, social studies) out of the way.
If you think you want to be a fitness professional, major in something that will help you--physical fitness, health & exercise science. Minor in business. You can still get an MBA if that is a goal you feel you must achieve (& good for you by the way--that's very admirable). It doesn't matter what your major is for undergrad studies. Anyone can get an MBA. What matters is where you want to get that degree from & what your GMAT or GRE scores are when you apply for your MBA program. Unless of course you are looking at business schools & a 5 year MBA.
Best of luck to you as you finish high school & begin your college education.
