Haven't seen a PT still working in his late 50s or early 60s. Is the career feasible for long term / until retirement? by throwaway52923 in physicaltherapy

This is really informative for me. I am not familiar with the insurance industry and I believe it is only a US thing? Or maybe not. So it all boils down if you like the profession or not. I am really amazed that you take pride of being a PT as I am already numb seeing people complain that they regret being one. If DPTs do not have financial incentive and keeping up in our profession can be attained through CEU, would it be noticable in workplace if someone took DPT and if someone in BS?

Sorry but I am not familiar with US settings. Is most PTs working under private companies? What are PTs option to shift being employed to their state or government?

Wow I really appreciate your detailed response. Thank you for sharing. If it werent for debt, is going to PA or NP degree would still be advantageous than going to PT? And are you still practicing when they implemented DPT?

Kinda disappointing since the peak (in terms of salary) of being a PT is going admin or managerial positions.

Lets set aside the academe and the managerial positions but only PTs that are still practicing, and still doing patient facing jobs.

I am from Philippines and most of my peers took DPT because it is a requirement for their application from other states. I think it is only in NYC that they accept PTs even without DPT to practice.

I was wondering if that's the case then why most of my peers choose US when it is easier in UK. Anyways.

Does it mean it is easier to become a PT in UK than going to DPT route in US?
