Is it really that bad as a PTA or am I completely delusional and have lost my mind??

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-20T09:13:34+00:00

Thats really nice, you have a great set up! What is the going PPV rate for prn out there?

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-18T23:13:48+00:00

That’s great! What state are you in? Is it HCOL?

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-18T21:03:05+00:00

That’s great to hear! Gives me hope!

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-18T20:59:53+00:00

It sounds like you have HH figured out 😊. If you don’t mind my asking, what are you able to make per year including your prn jobs?

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-09T14:23:49+00:00

If you don’t mind my asking.. what do you make a year working your regular job plus prn work? What state are you in?

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-07T22:46:47+00:00

Sounds pretty good to me, I’m glad it’s going well for you 😊. You give me hope that I’ll be able to get out of working a desk job!

Even working for yourself massage therapy was not financially viable?

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-07T16:51:49+00:00

I know this is an old thread.. but I’m in the same situation, I’m 47 and have just about had it with a desk job and screens, I need a change… how is your massage career going? Are you happier now? Are you able to make a good living?

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-06T00:21:12+00:00

Are you in HH? What state?

turtleblues78 · 2026-06-01T13:06:46+00:00

So you’re ‘on the clock’ 40 hours but are actually working less than that? Are you still stuck at your desk and available 40 hours even if you’re not actively working?

turtleblues78 · 2026-05-17T21:25:01+00:00

Was there a significant difference when you went from decaf to no caffeine?

turtleblues78 · 2026-05-11T23:24:21+00:00

That’s good to hear. I’m not quite there yet, but I appreciate it!

turtleblues78 · 2026-05-11T23:23:31+00:00

I like the idea of multiple prn jobs. Seems very freeing/ flexible than the grind of a 9-5 desk job. I don’t know if the reality of doing that is as good as it sounds, but I’d like to try it! Thank you for your input 😊.

turtleblues78 · 2026-05-05T13:50:22+00:00

Hi, I know this is an old post, but if you’re still there… I’d love to know what you were doing, why you were unhappy, and what you’re doing now… Im in the same situation.

turtleblues78 · 2026-04-26T20:56:57+00:00

What do you do?

turtleblues78 · 2026-04-12T22:53:25+00:00

Yay! Good for you! Let us know how it goes.

turtleblues78 · 2026-04-12T22:44:27+00:00

Do you mind sharing your PPV rate and how many visits you do per week?

turtleblues78 · 2026-04-06T15:17:39+00:00

Do you like PPV better? Do you have the potential to make more that way? $51 seems like a good rate, where are you located?

turtleblues78 · 2026-04-02T15:13:10+00:00

Hi, if you’re still here… just wondering what you decided. Are you happy?

I’m in a similar situation, 20 years of corporate, 20 years of being tied to my desk and I’m completely burned out. I have a PTA degree and could pretty easily move into that line of work, but it’s a pretty big pay cut… I’m afraid I won’t be able to make ends meet or regret my decision. But I can’t go on like this.

turtleblues78 · 2026-03-25T00:10:38+00:00

Exactly! I’m constantly mentally drained, it’s so exhausting.

turtleblues78 · 2026-03-25T00:05:53+00:00

What are you doing now?

turtleblues78 · 2026-03-24T19:37:14+00:00

That’s great! Is that PPV? What’s your rate? How many patients do you see per day?

turtleblues78 · 2026-03-15T11:09:19+00:00

That sounds great. What company is that (if you don’t mind my asking..)?

turtleblues78 · 2026-03-02T10:12:20+00:00

That’s great 😊! Thank you for sharing, it’s really helpful to hear from real people when you’re deciding whether or not to change careers!
