If your involved in fitness or health, what's your job? And what do you think is the average salary for your field?

My roommate is about to start med school in Augusta(MCG) and he said that most jobs with only an excersize science degree are like p.e. coach and personal trainer but with a PA or PT(which is what he's going for) he'll start out at a minimum of 50k(that's about the lowest, he said up to 80k in the right location) I hope this helps. btw, what degree are you going for (or have)?
