Hi Alex!

I work in advertising myself, and totally get you! 🙂

There are two aspects in this:
1. If you love fitness, go for it! I don’t know how old you are, but if you just graduated in 2014, you should be young enough to make bold moves! If you want to be a personal trainer, you don’t even have to start over studying something like sports management, but you can make changes step by step!

2. Can you use the job you have right now as a security net to finance education & training as a personal trainer? If you really feel your job is too dreadful, is it because of the agency or is it the kind of work itself? There are many different kinds of agencies, and maybe you need to make a small change first – go to a different agency or cut down hours to have more time for fitness… This way you can also make the transition smoother and try stuff out without the financial pressure and without too much fear of failure. Plus, failure is a great way to gain valuable experience and therefor nothing to be afraid of…

Good luck!
