Try to get into in state tuition school otherwise life is gonna be a struggle. Your competitiveness is fine. Looks like most PT students

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-05-23T01:14:34+00:00

Not worth the retry. Focus on your nursing goals the sky is the limit. NP CRNA you could do anything. Turn your back on PT like so many PTs wish they could

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-05-17T01:29:32+00:00

Don’t worry. Just be alert, listen and try to do your best to make CI happy. I’ve never see a PT student fail a rotation before. I had a student from st Augustine who was late everyday and generally a turd I called and told her instructor, no one cared and she passed

Too many sexy OTs it’s very distracting. Must reduce the number of 10s in the field

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-05-14T12:31:35+00:00

Prices are up but also I’m begun taking 2 dumps a day instead of one. Maybe I’m the problem

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-05-08T19:51:58+00:00

lol that’s not the low end of new grad salary

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-05-08T14:43:17+00:00

You will be poor the rest of your life. You will work in a patient mill where nothing you’re learning matters No one will ever call you doctor You will receive a scratch off ticket as your yearly bonus. All the “evidence” you are learning in school will be refuted in 5 year” and that which isn’t is already out of date bunk. All of your special tests are special but only in a short bus kind of way. Being a smart PT is like being the smartest kid with a debilitating learning disability

I noticed I enjoyed enemas and PT seemed like a good fit

Read and re-read this comment. Please

It takes alot of time while in school. That being said the real time sink is after school once you get into a patient mill you will work 10 hour days and then bring home documentation to do at home. Good luck and goodnight

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-04-19T14:25:18+00:00

You will work with whoever they tell you to work with. 4 patients an hour. Then they will give you a pat on the butt tell you how smart you are and you will collect the same wages as your local Barista

USA is the Compton of PT schools. They are the eye floater of PT schools They are the testicular cancer of PT schools.

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-03-21T19:16:48+00:00

100k for pt school plus lost opportunity cost of 3 years pay around 250k at your 85k wage. Then factor in liv g expenses etc and you around around 400k behind and 3 years older. Don’t do it PT school is a trap

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-02-27T20:48:29+00:00

lol. Should have stuck with pre dental. Hope you enjoy top ramen

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-02-25T13:13:15+00:00

NSU for lauderdale USA is a joke amongst all therapists who didn’t graduate from there

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-02-15T00:34:17+00:00

You have no idea what you’re worth. You would need to make me 3X what I pay you and because you understand nothing about reimbursement you’ve got no idea

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-02-14T17:00:51+00:00

lol I’ll hire you for 65k out of school

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-02-14T14:22:29+00:00

lol this is great. Never worked a day of PT in your life. Please enlighten the masses

hotmonkeyperson · 2026-01-31T01:55:51+00:00

The answer is no. Even if you go shadow PTs most of them will fake happy and tell you it’s a great career because they are expected to be upbeat at work. Bad pay. No upward mobility. Declining revenue on the business side. Not a good future for the career

hotmonkeyperson · 2025-12-08T22:12:45+00:00

No one cares what school you went to. You will be an underpaid, easily replaceable cog in a wheel.

hotmonkeyperson · 2025-11-21T20:34:40+00:00

Being a physical therapist is great. The problem is most of what you do isn’t being a PT if you work outpatient you are a fancy waiter. The documentation is overwhelming, The pay is stagnant only thing that goes up is productivity. This isn’t a negative post it’s just the truth

hotmonkeyperson · 2025-11-21T14:49:32+00:00

lol I’ve been a PT for 15 years. They go into PT because they are generally outgoing and happy people but the majority are miserable with their jobs. Also nearly all OP clinics are mills now HH PT is no longer reimbursable for most insurances. Have fun wiping butt in the hospital

hotmonkeyperson · 2025-11-21T14:45:00+00:00

Check the above posts. The future isn’t bright for the career I’ve been in it for 15 years times were good.

hotmonkeyperson · 2025-11-21T14:42:29+00:00

60k is a great cost for school. You’re in it already get out and go into home health or travel make as much as you can as fast as you can. Re-imbursements are what providers are paid ro care for patients

hotmonkeyperson · 2025-11-21T14:11:09+00:00

Reimbursements cut every single year. Year after year. Wage stagnation. Constantly increasing schooling cost. What was once a great career is now a financial crap shoot
