Be honest with yourself: a bachelor's in kinesiology alone has a low pay ceiling. Job Bank's median is $32 an hour, about $67,000 a year full time, with a spread of roughly $22 to $50, but that category lumps kinesiologists in with other therapy and assessment jobs, so the top end is generous for the degree alone. Many kinesiologists earn $22 to $30 an hour for years. The big jumps come from a further credential or a business.
