Teach a class right now as well, going to be doing possibly two more in the summer. Picking up clients is kind of slow at the moment. It will pick up eventually, but sucks right now.
I'm going to be going for a few specialized certifications as well that will make me more appealing to other people.
what kinda % you get? I hear you got it pretty good in the states, I get like 25-35% of what I sell for depending on different factors - which annoys me.
The place I'm working right now I get 80% and it equals to about 30 bucks an hour. So the rate is lower but I get more take home. Not a bad deal IMO. Most gyms give you 60 or less around here. So 80% is great. Now I just need to advertise better.

i was too poor and disconnected to go to college right out of high school...
I feel ya. Without The help of The State (basically you get a Credit to go to University) i would have never been able to do it. Education can't be overrated.
I have a graphic design degree and currently work as a Telerecruiter. I've been searching for a job for a while but with planning the wedding and moving in with my fiance (now wife) I was a little preoccupied. I just wish there were more hours in the day
I got my BA in Political Science (Political philosophy emphasis, you know the useful one!) last December. After 30 job apps a day for coming on five months TODAY I officially accepted a job as an insurance processor for automobile claims with State Farm in Tempe, Arizona. It pays $13 an hour and I have to move from Boise leaving my friends, family, and music scene. I want to go to gradschool soon. University of Washington has a JD/MAIS (international studies) program I really want to get into. It is like my dream to be a US diplomat. For now this is kind of cool, though. My girlfriend is graduating Saturday with Anthropology and French degrees. She is an assistant manager at Radio Shack.
