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?

      @chazzsimmons1411 5 років тому +30

      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

    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.
