I agree with John. I've worked with trainers that graduated with unrealated degrees but had passion for exercise get certified and do great. At the same time, just about all of my close friends that graduated with me with the same fitness degree are now working in completely different fields.
Having a degree in fitness certianly gives you more opportunities to get in at some facilities, but it is by no means the only way. Any decent fitness director should recognize that passion and eagerness to learn and improve is way more valuable than just having a degree. I learned way more about actually training on my own after graduating then I ever did in the courses I took.
