Which Career Earns More And Is More Enjoyable? Ultrasound Tech Or Physical Therapist?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 22, 2010
I realize the two careers are very different and I have looked at both jobs extensively, including the school needed to get there, but I am at a standstill between the two. I’d love to hear from Ultrasound Techs and Physical Therapists to hear your take. I’ve looked up average salaries for both positions, but I know that it depends on where you work, what your specialty is, and how much experience you have. It seems that Physical Therapy requires more school (for a DPT) and pays about the same as an Ultrasound Tech. Opinions?

I Am 48 And Im Thinking About Becoming A Physical Therapy Assistant Can Anyone Tell Me More About This Career?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 6, 2010
I am a PTA and enjoy it. You have to know what you’re getting in to if you want to be accepted into a PTA program. I strongly suggest doing some volunteer/observation in a PT clinic somewhere–maybe even 2 or 3 different ones to get a variety of patients/therpaists to observe. That is very likely an admission requirement anyway. It isn’t the highest paying job in the world by far but it is quite rewarding. You get more direct patient contact than do the Physical Therapists mainly because they have more paperwork and administrative work to do–but they also get paid more.

What Would Be A More Wise Or Economy Conscious Career Decision: Becoming A Physical Therapist Or Teacher?
I have been thinking about this for awhile and am not sure quite what to do. I’m 19 but half way through my sophomore year in college with all my generals done, so I have to take a path and go with it. I’m working as a physical therapy aide now, and do not like the nature of the work in the hospital. I was thinking about physical therapy athletics since I am an college athlete, but I’m not sure about the amount of schooling and science classes. With a teacher I would do secondary education teaching english, which I like alot and am good at. The problem being the demand and pay for teachers is not something that helps any, so the dilemma persists.
Which Are Chiropractic Or Physical Therapy Careers More Enjoyable?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 24, 2010
PT and Chiro are different professions in many ways. PT will without question offer higher job security the first 2-3 years. This is due to the fact that many healthcare facilities employ PT and very few directly hire chiropractors. The Chiro income potential is much greater than PT. You must market yourself and establish a client base to have good success in chiro. This requires you to be a pretty good marketer and willing to extend yourself beyond regular office hours. But beyond the financial aspect enjoyability will be based on your likes and dislike. I am a nurse and previously considered both opportunities. I made my decision after shadowing each opportunity. Good Luck!

Would someone in a hospital setting allow me to ask them some questions maybe or shadow them for a day? Also, what is the level of dealing with wounds/injuries in these two fields. Thanks
Which Is More Enjoyable? Chiropractic Career Or Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy – because you’re actually helping people. Chiropracty is a pseudoscience – the chiropractors around here claim they can cure cancer, asthma, and AIDS, just by moving your spine around. Hint: they can’t. They are scam artists, and they know it. Get a real medical degree instead.
