You will likely have clients in business and technology fields so your knowledge will help you build rapport with the clients which always makes it easier training them.

Couple with your unique knowledge and passion, you will be able to build up the experience to make you a great trainer as trainers who even have advanced kines degrees or PHDs need to build up experience before they can become great trainers.
I agree with this statement. I have a business Degree and work in Social tech field in the bay area. When some of my tech/business friends get tired of talking business or tech, I can school them about fitness.

To practice what I preach, I am starting my PT certification schooling and hope to get it in a month
