I was a Kinesiology major with a focus on biomechanics and a minor in Organic Chem. I love kinesiology, and I'm really interested in fitness and the physiology of exercise, in fact, my fascination with physiology was a large contributing factor to me pursuing medicine!
However, I wouldn't want to try to work in the Kin field, too many graduates with too few jobs. My school even told us flat out "if you want to get a career with this major, you need to go to grad school".
I was also the only student in my school's kin program's history to go the med school route, many of my classmates are personal trainers or applying to PT school.
Anyone else here go the Kinesiology route? How did you find it? Why did you go medicine instead? Did you feel you couldn't really relate with your peers who wanted to be personal trainers and gym teachers?
