I injured my low back causing a l5 s1 to hit my nerves; however, I got healed thanks to physical therapist and chiropractors. 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 жыл бұрын

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. I hope they don’t discriminate over people like me and base me off my job experiences, college degrees, personality, more of the positive side of me.
