Certified Training

is there a more preffered certification to get vs another?  I just was looking at @ ISSA, but I see there are others.

From what I've heard most personal trainers don't make good money. I'd aim a little higher in life.

now that I have looked on the net, no one seems to like ISSA certification, is there a reason.  I see alot of people going towards ACE, AFAA, NSCA, ACSM, NSPA Certifications.  I guess I'll stay away from ISSA

Thats because most don't know how to market themselves and work for someone else...work for yourself and you'll make good money!

I'm not going to do this full time or something, I'm sure there are trainers that make great money doing it full time, I have a great career already, it's just I want to be able to get certified for myself.

I make over $100k/yearly. Corporate big box gyms make squat because they usually don't know anything. That's why they're there. Indies can get paid nicely if they know what they're talking about

Ha!  I realized that I always look at the first page exclusively. I noticed that the scroller on the bottom of the page went to 300+ so I hit the last one...
