I was amazed how physical therapists help people get back to their normal lives. I want to pursue a career in that field but I don’t know how? Do I have to attend a 4 year college or are there specific schools??

      @chazzsimmons1411 4 роки тому +29

      I do agree that DPTs are underpaid. I don’t believe that 150k should be the minimum but if you look at other health professions that require a doctorate like pharmacists, dentist, etc. they are head and shoulders above PTs in salary. So I think the average salary should at be 100k regardless of location especially for the amount of schooling you do and the student debt you’re likely to accumulate

But I’m also transgender and pretty public and open about it. I don’t know any trans people with that kind of job.

    7 years for a DPT is not worth that low starting salary, even later on you still will not make doctor MD money, regardless you have a doctorate. Put 1 more year in and go to medical school for all that time. Doctors make triple the amount a PT makes.
