PTA is a great career with lots of job opportunites. The average pay is 40, 000 but it varies with location and speciality. The con is that you can not use it as a stepping stone to becoming a PT. You will never be a manager or a supervisior. Sr. PTA is as far as you can go. Were I work we have a 50/50 split PT/PTA. I can not do my job without the PTAs that I work with. They are essential in providing PT care.

I’m currently doing my basics at a community college and plan on transferring to U of Houston after I finish. I planned on going for hotel management, they have the #1 Hospitality school in the nation but my aunt has been talking to me about Physical Therapy Assistant saying I’ll make more money and its not as competitive. What should I do?

Is It Possible For Me To Get A Per Diem Physical Therapy Assistant Job?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 27, 2010
I am employed full-time and have a BS Biology with a good GPA from a top college and have clerical, technical writing, and customer service experience. The problem is I have had too many jobs and no clear direction. If I get a 4.0 in the A.S. program, will I even get calls for interviews? I know there is great demand in this field. I thought of writing a career-change resume that would highlight my hospital volunteering experience, my experience dealing with at-risk students, and my scientific writing skills, as well as my health-related background. Do you think this strategy will work? I had a problem with tardiness before, too, but not recently.
