[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never do PT school now that it is doctorate level…too many years of school and money and not a hige return on investment [/quote]

yep.  You're going to max out at just over 100K on salary and it's a very physically demanding career that is entirely in-person.  It's like pharmacy school (minus the physical part).  It's a great starting salary but there is a low salary ceiling unless you leave the actual practice of pharmacy and blend your pharmacy backgroud with an MBA or go into administration or whatnot (and there are a finite number of jobs down these avenues).  Just something to consider.  The salaries for PTs, OTs, pharmacists are all ones that the DCUM posters typically scoff at.

+1. Because spending $200K+ on graduate school to become a PT and Max out at $100K is NOT a good return on investment.  Add in the physically demanding career that is all in person and you have to really really want to do this over say PA or Med school. [/quote]
