Wellness Specialist
Duties and Responsibilities: Wellness specialists work for schools, local governments, companies or other organizations to suggest, support and train people on their health and fitness goals. A specialist often consults with people directly on lifestyle, eating and exercise habits and may direct an individual to a doctor for any serious health concerns.
Salary:$27,296-$64,389
Education: A wellness specialist often has a degree in a related discipline such as nursing, fitness or sports medicine. There are no specific requirements, but many positions require on-the-job training in addition to certification.
Demand For This Profession: Employment of wellness specialists is projected to grow 37% between 2010 to 2020, which is much faster than the averages for other careers. This is due to the reason of rising healthcare costs and the need for programs to reduce costs.
Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I think I would not like to be a wellness specialist because the job looks good but doesn’t interest me. Plus I have another career in mind already.
