Hello everyone, So I am a South African and I want to move to America as a Personal Trainer. I have searched online for a couple of hours but can't seem to get a clear answer. So what are some steps that I can take to move to America? So I have two issues. I want to know what certificate or qualifications I will need to be able to get a job abroad. Do I need a Bachelor's or would a Personal Training Degree be enough. Would I need many years of experience? How many years would I need? I am currently in China and would like to start studying something fitness related. But my main goal is to move to America, so if I have to let one dream go(and study something else) in order to achieve another(move to America) then I would not mind. Reason why this is a very difficult decision to make is because I am not entirely positive about my future as a personal trainer(anywhere in the world). Although I have the knowledge and the willingness to do what it takes, I feel that my personality would hold me back. I am an Introverted person, and not a good salesman. As I understand it, those two skills are required to be a good or successful personal trainer. So would it even be a good for me to go into the fitness direction? Can anyone give me suggestions on what a good major would be for me based on the little information that I have given. Introverted(not shy); What to move to America; Also interested in computers, IT, programming; Thanks for any help.
