NSCA

I'm considering getting into the training industry. It's going to be a complete career change, although 20 years ago I got a degree in nutrition and fitness. I think the CSCS is the end goal, and I'd like to work with young athletes. Although, I also could enjoy broader PT work as well. The question is, is the NSCA PT certification going to be significantly easier then the CSCS certification? I'd like to get the ball rolling sooner rather than, so if the path of least resistance is a PT cert, I'm open to that. This might allow me to get some experience in the industry, while working towards the CSCS. BTW, their website doesn't list any difference in expected prep time between each cert.
