MattUK....this of course is one of those "It depends" Questions....
If what you wish to achieve...and that is the big question...requires a degree, then yes it's important.
I have friends that are attorneys and physicians that enjoy what they do....so their degree is important.
I have other friends in Real Estate, Financial Planning, Mortgage Brokers....they do have degrees, however their degrees don't even relate to their profession.
If you enjoy personal training start there. Build up your client base and go for it. You will get an education in the process....marketing, sales etc. Find a successful mentor that you can bounce ideas off of.
Remember...."personal training".....doesn't have to look like ..clients in a gym one-on-one. This would be the best place to start your business. As your client base grows and your schedule fills up...eventually you can only train so many people in one day limiting what you can do.
Maybe you can branch out to marketing your training techniques to other personal trainers...and become their consultant on building a successful business. You can even market your own training DVDs or have a website educating people.
You have so many options....as long as you continue to grow and move forward....doors will open up and you will see the next step....it will appear!
