I would primarily just train a muscle group until it was engorged with the largest pump I could manage - not a very scientific way to train, mind you, but effective none-the-less.C.S.

My advice (for what it's worth):
Foll...Steve,<br /><br />My advice (for what it's worth):<br /><br />Follow the joint union of what your mind and your heart tell you to do. (Don't listen to others unless they have your best interest in mind.)<br /><br />With that being said, I LOVED weight training, and still do, but there came a point in the late '90s when I had to change careers. Slowly, I came to not like it as much when it was the ONLY occupation of my life.<br /><br />I changed jobs, and fell back in love with lifting, and writing about lifting at that point.<br /><br />I currently work as an Industrial Engineer, and just lift, write, and train others as more of a hobby. It has caused me to (probably) enjoy it more than ever. When I'm at my "day job" it's nice to think about other things.<br /><br />Having said all of that, if I had to do it over again, I would probably go back to school too and get a PhD in either theology or philosophy. I would LOVE to teach either of those to people who would actually want to learn. If you feel the same way, then by all means go after what you would love most in life.C.S.

I've just been debating whether or not to go back to school and being a professor has crossed my mind a couple times. I was accepted into a physical therapy program but am not sure I would enjoy being around patients 40 hours a week. I have a bachelors in Nutrition and Fitness and love weight training.

In the state of Alabama, I could teach certain classes - such as weight training - with an Associates Degree in wellness, and a certification from the state. This was in the mid '90s, so I don't know how it is today.<br /><br />Best job ever? I don't know about that. A lot of the kids just figured it would be an "easy A", and so they didn't expect to have to do any real work in the class. And they especially didn't like my written exams.C.S.
