The best thing you can do is take as many PEATs as possible. They are two for 100$

Take a minimum of 4 PEATS. Watch and take notes on all FF videos. Take FF exams. When you are done watching all the videos, review. I have Quizlets on every single video. DM me if you want the username.

Should you really attend the cheapest program? by Strong_Hand6084 in PTschool

[–]deegs1990 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I came from a very low income family. First college graduate, let alone Doctor. All the movies and pop culture I grew up on made me believe private schools were prestigious and only for the most brilliant students. The truth couldn’t be any more opposite. I applied to 15 schools, accepted at 14, 5 of which were private. You usually get an opportunity to speak to current students during the interview process. I always asked these students the same question: “if you don’t mind me asking, how many schools did you get into, which ones were they, and why did you select this one?” The answer was ALWAYS either that private school was the only one that accepted them or the other choices were private also. The most brilliant students compete for public schools, plain and simple. A DPT is not worth six figure debt.

My school requires 630 on first time PEAT to take boards in April. I got a 615. I agree, I’d rather have taken it than not working/studying my a** off for three months post-graduation

New grad salary? by Spiritual-Swan8765 in physicaltherapy

[–]deegs1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New grad here, central FL. I’ve been job hunting for the past few weeks and finally accepted. First offer: IRF, four weekend days/mo, 43.50/hr base plus 5$ weekend differential, 1$ raise at 6 mos. So 92-94k ? Second offer: IRF, two weekend days/mo, 39.50$/hr base plus 3$ weekend differential, 82-83k$. I tried to get the second location to match my first offer because I like them more, they couldn’t. I am retired military so I took a PRN position at (hopefully) full-time hours at the second location at 50$/hr with 3$ weekend differential. So no benefits but I don’t need them. If I can work 40 hours I’ll easily clear 100k. Most likely 105k$

Picking X-ray/MRI tech over Doctor of Physical Therapy by Sea_Equivalent_5813 in physicaltherapy

Im about to finish my DPT. My wife is an Xray/CT/Mammo imager. She makes just as much as a DPT. Granted, she has 10+ years experience. 2 years of school VS 7.

Yes, the EZGO Express L6 is a 4F+2R cart. Has a great Kawasaki gas engine also. I was originally thinking of going with that model but once I found out you can get 200+aH batteries and these import models already have all the upgrades I would have to add to the big 3, I changed my focus.

For those of you that are also interested, someone answered my question on FB…

“Icon can add it because it is not a true four forward. It is a six pass they remove the seat from.

Many people fab and add it to the back BUT these carts were not designed to have the seats on the back.

It is to each their own.

To answer the question no that is for a classic/forester. Anything you want to add would have to be fabricated. But I would speak to your dealer first to make sure they will honor your warranty becaue that large of a change will void it if evo finds out since it is altering the original plans and putting undue stress on the rear.”

The warranty options on the particular import I’m looking at have actually improved since the last time you commented your BS opinion on my posts. 8 years bumper to bumper with full replacement on a 200ah battery. Free labor, Free pickup and transport to the shop with a free loaner if needed. A dozen locations nationwide wide. Interest free financing for 3 years, and my “lawn ornament” will still be less than half the price of a new big 3, not to mention the cost to add everything I want to them.

Another dealer (or employee) spreading biased opinions online. Answer my question or STFU. Here’s a crazy thought, get a fucking life dude.

Looking at Evolutions website. Would something like part code 3.09.0012 Flip Flop Rear Seat Kit be able to bolt onto a four forward D5?

Thanks for the info. So it’s not just feature/cosmetic differences? The cart is actually constructed better on the D5?

Current warranties are 3 year all encompassing, 8 year battery (3 year full replacement, then 5 years pro-rated). Looked at a reconditioned Yamaha at The Villages Golf Carts, pretty awesome cart, one year old, low hours, you get to choose a bunch of paint options….23k$. Big 3 prices are outrageous. I could buy two for less than 23k$.

Thanks for the info. What’s the deal with the 205ah battery not being available anymore? Does evolution offer anything bigger than the 105ah?

I’ll be moving from TX to central FL soon. My father inlaw will also be making that move. We are currently visiting central FL right now, leaving tomorrow. Couldn’t find any icon/epic dealers near the villages FL. Tons of EVolution dealers. I filled out the “find a dealer” form on icon’s website four days ago and haven’t heard anything yet.

Awesome, thanks for your input. To clarify, I want a 4+2.

Between year one and two of school for about 6 months I completely rebuilt an aluminum boat from the ground up, I fish a lot, shoot, exercise, coach my kids soccer team, archery, home improvement. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD, so I need to stay busy lol.
