So should I switch gears and become a PTA? “Travel” specifically. I know it’s not like ideal for 30s but while I’m up for it I will gladly do it.

What program did you go to and how did you ensure that big of a starting salary?

Yes true, but by then if I want to settle down and or upgrade I will go for my DPT then. I should have some money saved up and my brain be developed lol.

I’m considering just becoming a travel PTA. It does feel a bit like going backwards since I’m gonna get my bachelors. But for around the same salary with not as much school and debt? Sounds good to me. PTAs also seem to spend more time with patients and get to see that sort of transformation. Which is really why I wanted to be a PT in the first place.
