Correct me if im wrong but i just talkd to a school that offers the NASM and they said i have to have a bacholors degree frist and 2 years in feild expericance than i can start my NASM Cert. Is that true?

yes thats true. Not worth the money IMO. Its a good education but not going to earn you much more $ and most gyms dont require it
