    hello, hope you answer!!
    there are a couple of colleges that have a program where you study 4 years to earn bachelor’s in physical therapy
    can you be a physical therapist after it? or it is obligatory to get the doctorate of 3 years?

    So i hope this question doesn't come off as dismissive of all the hardwork, studying, financial commitment, & time that professional physical therapists put in. But say you're someone who's a little older.
    Maybe feels like 6-7 years to achieve the academic credentials is a little too long at this stage in life, & doesn't want to incur such a huge student loan debt. Are there any positions in the physical therapy field that might only require a 2 year degree or trade school certificate? Some way i could be involved helping physical therapists while at the same time working with patients?

    Hi, I'm hoping you notice this..
    I am 100% sure that I want to go into physical therapy. I'm currently a junior in high school at 17 years old. My grades haven't always been that great especially not in middle school but I know that this is what I have my mind set on. I don't think I care to much about what college I get into, I just wanna meet the requirements of my state (RI) to become a PT. We're obliviously 2 incredibly different people so i ask is the work behind it worth it??? And do you think that HONESTLY I could get through it??

    • @PTProgress
      @PTProgress  4 роки тому +3

      Grizzz hi there! Do you know much about the difference in schooling for PT and PTA? Both work directly with patients and if you like the idea of getting into physical therapy sooner with less debt and in just 2 years with an associates degree, being a PTA might be a good option for someone who isn’t thrilled with the years and years of more school. Have you seen @antoniosanson channel? He’s a PTA and shares a lot about becoming a PTA vs PT.

      No, it's not necessary. You can go that route, but most people just complete a bachelor's degree then go right into a DPT.

      Yep, that’s possible! You can major in anything but you also need to complete the pre-reqs for the program you apply to.

    • @PTProgress
      @PTProgress  10 місяців тому

      Become a PTA. Significantly less debt, possibly none. You can pretty much do everything except an initial eval, which is time consuming anyways. Still make 50-60k in outpatient PT or 70k+ in home health as a PTA.

    Basically past 30, it’s not worth it. Unless you start early in life, or can get your bachelors in 2 years then go in to dpt for 3 years. Go into a trade.
