[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PT is another great option. Just to clarify, though, the degree PTs get now is a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), not a Ph.D. The DPT takes about three years (I don't know of any Ph.D. program that can be completed in less than five years). APTA website has more info: http://www.apta.org/PTEducation/Overview/ So, OP, another good possibility! But, if a PTA is really just an associate's degree, and the salary difference is that little, I might be tempted to go that route, too. Look into it, though, sometimes there are differences in what you can do that may matter to you.[/quote] I'm a PT. PT is a rewarding professional with good earning potential, but the schooling is very tough. It would certainly be more intensive than OT or SLP school. If you're strong in the sciences though, I'd say go for it. Becoming a PTA could be an option, but you would sacrifice autonomy. You would always have to work under the direction of a PT. good luck![/quote]
