Hi everyone,

I'm an 18 year old getting prepared to start my first year of college and need some guidance and thought this would be the best place to ask (sorry if this is the wrong forum to post in).

I'm going to start out at community college and transfer to a University in a couple of years.

My goal is to eventually get a degree and get certified and have the ability/option(s) to be a personal trainer and involved in athletic training. What degrees and certifications do I need exactly for these goals? Theres so many certifications and degrees I'm just kind of confused on where to start at this point.

I was looking at this course Kinesiology - Athletic Training, Degree
to start with. Is this a wise choice for my goals? Where would I go from there after completing the course and earning my degree?

Thanks for any advice/guidance in advance.
