What is a lucrative career or field that I should pursue if I have an interest in health, fitness, nutrition, kinesiology, exercise science, etc.?

>inb4 personal trainer

I don’t need to be making a 6 figure income, but I’d like to make a decent salary.

Physio therapist?

You could be a
dietitian (starting salary around 37 grand, peaks at 74 grand)

Sports doctor

Sport medicine teacher. Now a teacher doesn't necessarily have to be low paid. If you go to a private school, or abroad at an international school, you could get paid a lot more. I know my old bio teacher from my international school got paid $100,000 annually. She was from the states and only had a master's degree in bio.

A fitness instructor for a sports team (I guess that's not exactly personal trainer, but it's kinda similar)

Drill Instructor for the military. You get to make recruits do fitness while you yell at them for their shitty form. As an instructor, you'll also have to keep in shape. Before you complain about salary, keep in mind that the military will cover your insurance, give you allowances for all sorts of shit, and the GI Bill.

In the Navy, going to be a drill instructor (an RDC, Recruit Division Commander), is a 3 year tour as a shore duty. They have to do 6+ years in some other job before they can go be an RDC, and after 3 years of it, you go back to the fleet, to do your original job again. Marines have a pretty similar set up. Don't know about Army or Air Force, but my guess is, it's the same. Drill instructor isn't a career.

That being said, pretty much any of the special warfare type jobs are something a fitness junkie would enjoy, SEALs, EOD, Rescue Swimmer, SWCC.

Martial artist

On one hand, you'll be competing against guys with freakish amounts of experience. Some of the TKD guys i fight were kicking in the womb. I myself have 50% experience (10/21 years)

On the other, to truly be a martial artist, one must master all health related fields, in search of the further sciences that can progress the martial sciences.
