The second biology career I researched was an exercise physiologist. Their average salary is $49,090 yearly. To become an exercise physiologist, you must meet the following education requirements: at minimum a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology or a related field, and depending on the employer, further licenses or credentials may be needed. The future outlook for this particular job is above average, meaning employment in this field is predicted to increase by 13 percent in the timeline of ten years. Exercise physiologist's duties may include: analyzing a patient's medical history, assessing their personal risks with exercise, determining what genre of exercise is best for them, performing medical tests using medical equipment, analyzing the data that results from testing, measuring patient's health indicators, and developing fitness programs built to improve a patient's personal health. This job can be accomplished in many environments such as, self-employed spaces, hospitals, medical offices, and within/for the government. In order to pursue this career, first get a bachelor's degree in subjects related to an exercise physiologist's field. I am well suited for this job because I possess traits needed to succeed in this particular career. Those traits being: compassion, decision-making skills, detail oriented, and interpersonal-skills.
