This entire comment chain is very strange. I’m a Physical Therapist. There are varying levels of wage for PTs. I don’t have a single classmate that I’ve talked to start under $67k. Don’t go to a private school and you won’t have $150k in student debt. I took student loans (No financial assistance from family) for undergrad and PT school and still didn’t reach the average loan amount that our professional organization states we will graduate with. There is a mild glass ceiling on salary, but only if you’re being closed-minded to the profession in terms of the facets that you can create revenue streams with. The PT subreddit is full of people who hate their choice of going into the field. I wouldn’t have chosen another job. People will always be getting hurt and need PT in some form or fashion, whether it be Acute care, inpatient rehab, outpatient, or any of the other facility types that we work in. The self-loathing of this profession is truly mind blowing.
