I am an Information Systems major and IT is not looking like something that I want to do. Im a college athlete and I always workout and Im very eager to learn more about fitness and how the body can become healthier.

Anyone have a degree in fitness? What have you done with it?

I do not have a degree in it, but it is a field with a lot of different opportunities. Obviously you could own a gym or do classes for people, but you could also work for a variety of recreation type programs. If you are interested in learning even more you could always do research projects with professors and eventually become a researcher or professor yourself. You could also work as a personal trainer for athletes and such.

My personal trainer is getting his BA in excercise science (fitness). He did not need it for personal training, but he is now planning to pursue a graduate degree in physical therapy. He anticipates that the excercise science degree will help get him into the physical therapy pprogram.
