University of Chicago - april004 - 06-21-2010
I just received a job offer to work in the University of Chicago's athletic department!
(and no...I didn't get the job because my boyfriend is a scientist @ U of C!)
I was waiting for him to get off work one day and decided to see what jobs were available. There was an assistant personal training position and I decided to apply. Didn't tell anyone. Didn't think I'd get it.
I was just offered the position last week. I am 1 of only two personal trainers on campus.
I have to serve not just the students but also faculty,employees,etc.
So yes....having a personal training certification is a requirement...but I am sure without the degree I earned from Excelsior, they would have hired another personal trainer with a degree.
If U of C hired me with an Excelsior degree, it is legit!

Thanks! I know that if I didn't have my degree and only armed with a personal trainer cert....
I wouldn't have received the job. Could I have worked at a big box corporate gym with only a cert? Sure!
But U of C? Oh no.
Without Excelsior...I'd be stuck in a job I hated.
Now I love getting up for work. I love it. It's a great feeling.
Btw, My Cert- NCSF is Ace approved for college credit!
