I want to be a personal trainer but I'm still lightly overweight. Should I still pursue my license?

Two years ago I started my own health and wellness journey. I am 5'9 started at 260 at 36% body fat and I am now 165 at 24% BF. I desire to help lead and inspire others to become healthy and maintain it. I'm hoping to get my masters in physical education but while I'm going to school I want to train. Would you hire me as a personal trainer? Is this acceptable? I'm still working hard every day to get the last 20lbs off and I'm constantly setting new fitness and athletic goals.
