Laura asks…
How much could a Personal trainer/ Nutritionist earn a month?
I would like to study something in this area… Become like a Personal trainer with a degree in Nutrition (so a nutritionist or Dietitian). And i was wondering how much i could earn (if you know how much in Spain, or in euros that would be great, if not dollars are fine) with this combo… I dont mind studying and im a pretty sporty guy, i think i could be good at it.

admin answers:
This sounds like a rewarding career for you. Personal training and nutrition are complementary pursuits. Diet and fitness — along with proper sleep patterns — are the keys to physical health.
Personal trainers/nutritionists are compensated very well if you work for a celebrity and have lots of experience and references. If you don’t have them, expect to start in the ten-fifteen dollar an hour range.
Spain’s economy is hurting now, so you can initially expect to get paid at the low end — maybe seven euros an hour or so. (One euro is currently — March 18, 2010 — worth $1.36.)
Best of luck to you over there.
