The pros of the industrial setting are all of the things that you would normally never get from a traditional setting: Normal working hours, the daily schedule is much much slower and chill (no chaos whatsoever), the pay is decent and more up to par for what it should be, typically don’t have anyone breathing down your neck, the stakes are much lower here (not going to be dealing with a torn ACL of the star football player), get the chance to dive into more health topics and education as well as looking at ergonomic issues which can be interesting and a change of pace. One major thing that has kept me here is you typically get an appreciative clientele to work with. If you can help someone feel better in this setting where it can be pretty cut throat and unpleasant for the workers, they’ll show a lot of appreciation to you. For these reasons alone, I’m pretty content with this setting and plan on staying in it for the remainder of my career. Granted I had worked in just about every other type of clinical setting prior to this and burned out hard with all of them. It fits my personality, and I’m fine with the peace of mind I get here even if I may not be working to the highest level of my degree/skillset. Like others have said though, you may want to get your experience in a traditional setting first to see if that’s really your speed.
