What to do with a Kinesiology degree?

I’m having a bit of a dilemma. I’m getting a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology (emphasis on Exercise Nutrition and Wellness), but I don’t know if that degree can guarantee me a $80K plus job in the future. I’m thinking about going to Physical Therapy school, but I find it very expensive and time consuming, and this is holding me back. Aside from being a fitness instructor or coach, what else can I do with this degree? I would love to work with a major corp. like Nike or Disney or something along those lines.

Sorry to crush your dreams but nothing can guarantee you 80K per year. I did a kin degree with the hopes of becoming a physiotherapist. The competition to get into PT is more intense than for med school. Most schools’ websites will tell you that only after you get a phd in kin will major corps even look at you.
