I want to be a nutritionist/personal trainer. How long do I have to study?
They get all the chicks.

All depends on what you want. I studied on my own and got certified through ISSA. A lot of trainers have degrees now, though. It's been a few years since I've trained anyone - more sales oriented than I anticipated.

Your diet is half of making your goals in lifting, whether it's to bulk up or lean out. I bike, play racquetball and lift 5x a week and have kept a combination of this routine up for over 14 years; lifting has been a fair portion of my excercise because it's something I can do year-round.
I'm creeping up on 30 and my goals have switched from bulking up to staying lean and strong, although I'm all of 155 lbs at 5'11". Through it all, staying away from carbonated drinks as much as possible and eating well has been most of the battle. I played with Creatine for a spell and I'll not deny my best gains in terms of muscle mass came from it, though I had to stay on a very aggressive lifting schedule (one that I can't keep up with today due to the lack of time at my disposal).
If you goal is mass, I wouldn't mess with anything other than protein powder or Creatine as a supplement. That's just me, though.
Another thing that helped me move off of "plateaus" in lifting was switching up my routine. I can't stress this enough, as your body will adjust to any long-term lifting routine and it will become less effective over time. I'm to the point where I swith my routine up every 3 months (use different equipment, free weights on some excercises while using machine weights on others, different lifts, etc.). You've GOT to shock your muscles in different ways to keep making gains; at least that's been my experience.

dynaball....the breakfast of champions. 
Try studied for 1 year and became a personal trainer, and work hard (5 times a week). Education, not chemicals. Kind of like some people should be educated before they comment.
I wasnt trying to bash you by saying all your gains came from steroids. Just pure bodybuilding humor, thats all.  I am very educated with bodybuilding as well as steroids and other growth hormones. Ive been around it all my life (not the steroids) since my dad has been bodybuilding since he was 23 and competed back when we lived in Louisville, Kentucky.
Heres a good muscle head joke.
Three guys are sitting at a bar and the first guy says, "I hate coming to a bar because my IQ is 220 and I can never find someone to have a good conversation with." A guy overhears his conversation and says, "My IQ is 217, lets talk about nuclear physics." So they get up and talk. The second guy sitting at the bar says, "I hate coming to a bar because my IQ is 175 and I can never find someone to have a good conversation with." Another man overhears him and says, "MY IQ is 160, lets talk about genetic engineering." So they get up and talk. The third guy says, "My IQ is 15. I cant get no good cunvarsaton." A man overhears him and says, "My IQ is 12. What gym you work out at?"

Here's another bodybuilder joke: How bodybuilders does it take to put in a light bulb? Three. One to put in the light bulb, the other two to say, "Hey man, you're looking huge."

I can bench press around 600 lbs and squat around 800. Plus my balls are huge. Baseball < my balls < the sun.
