My work will pay for me to go to school is exercise science worth taking? I would do it for shits and giggles not a career choice.

Exercise science degree?

If not for a career I see no reason why you would.

BSc?
Not enough to get you meaningful employment in my area, need a MSc at least and whatever relevant certs you want for your field. Physiotherapy at hospitals is extremely competitive and a bachelors won't be enough in most cases. Not much else worth doing with that degree unless you want to do S&C or get your CSCS which requires a degree.

Funny story about degrees in Kinisieology/Exercise Science:
Whenever I go to different gyms in town, I like to read the bio's of the personal trainers they have on the wall. I noticed an interesting trend that is congruent with virtually every gym I have visited: in every gym, there is a handful of trainers who were in school for Kin/Exercise Science for 2 years (2 years is the magic number) and either dropped out or switched to Psychology or Sociology and completed their BA instead of the BSc they were originally pursuing.
This would otherwise be meaningless, but why was everyone making the switch after 2 years?
The answer: you have to take a basic calculus course in second year.
These promising young scientists (LUL) didn't want to spend 1 hour a day on the only course you can't bullshit your way through in that entire 4 year program.

Saw a news story a year ago that stated exercise science is the lowest paying bachelor's as far as a career.

Hey thanks wasn't looking at it as a career was hoping to learn something new. My partner at work said why deal with the b.s. of home work and just buy the books. Thanks for the input
