How many of you know trainers, and what certification did they get?

I want to get a feel of the various certifications out there. I am now leaning on getting an ISSA certification. Within a year to year and a half I want to get the Personal Trainer Certification. Then eventually get the Specialist in Performance Nutrition certification.

I wouldn't mind training people for a while to see if I like it. It seems like a good way of making money on the side.

Oh, I forgot to ask. What do you think are the advantages of the different certifications, if any? What have you heard?
