Healthcare In The Army?
I want to do something health care related in the army. I am currently in school and majoring in Athletic Training. I know the army doesn’t have any branch for athletic trainer, the closest thing would be a physical therapies. My two options are Nursing or a Physician Assistant. I’m still up in the air on which one to choice. If anyone is or knows a lot about these two jobs (i.e the work and the experience, I know about the education) it would really help me out. Thanks!
Is Joining The Armed Forces The Army Better Then Being A Security Guard Or Radiology Tech?

Should I Join The Army To Help With Career In Physical Therapy?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 24, 2010
I have been wanting to join the Army for a long time now and the idea keeps coming back to me a lot. I know what I would be getting into and it is not just for the money since I feel I need to fill this urge to go in. I want to be a physical therapist. I have a year of college already and am debating whether I should continue to take out tons of loans during a time of detrimental economic times. It takes 7-8 years to get a Doctorate in physical therapy, which means I would accrue a pretty large amount of loans. Its $15,000 a yr to go where I am going, so that is a lot over 8 years. Would the Army be a good route to go to help get school paid for and to get the experience? Or should I continue to take these loans out during a time of poor economy? Will having loans during this time have a different effect on my loans than if the economy were healthy right now?
Thanks
