A Question For Massage Therapists?
Hi. I am in my mid 20s with a worthless BA degree, have taught English abroad, bartended, and now I’m looking for a real career. How long does it take to get certified? Can I study the academic stuff on my own and just pass tests before getting to practical learning? What are the career prospects? Is it hard to find a job afterwards? Is it possible to advance in this career. For example: if I wanted to go on to become a physical therapist in a few years, would my massage therapy education count for anything? What other careers can you branch out into easily, with relatively short transitional study? Nursing? Gym teaching? I am fluent in 3 languages, would that make me more marketable in a hotel? Would that be a good thing? How much can I expect to make? Is it overall a stable career? If I am going to go into it, I want to take it very seriously. Thank you everyone.
Career Question???
Okay I am going into 11th grade. I am going to a technical school for Allied Health/Sports Medicine. As long as I could remember I wanted to be a nurse and nothing else. Now that i am getting older I am still really interested in nursing but I found some other fields that I think I would like. For example Physical Therapy. And I am also interested in Early Childhood Education. But i would have to say that i am more intersted in the medical field more than anything. I was wondering if you are in any of these careers could you help me out with what schools are good for those and what classes you took. How long you were in school for. what you love about it. How you decided to go into that field of work. Thank you so much for all of your help. you don’t know how much i appricate this. By the way I am interested into going to college in Pennsylvania, Montana, South Carolina, and Washington.

Career Question What Do You Think About It?
Getting out of the marine corps in a few months and here’s my plan. I will attend a local community college called Palomar to study Physical Education. After my 2 years I will transfer to UC San Marcos to finish up to get my 4 degree in Physical Education. Now the reason why I am studying Physical Education because I like to coach and I wouldn’t mind being and Athletic Director. I am a High School Freshman coach and it is an awesome job during the fall.
In the mean time I also enjoy and like what a Physical Therapist does. I wouldn’t mind being a Physical Therapist helping rehabilitate injured athletes.
How should I go about doing these 2 careers? Now I know in the end I would have to make the decision but what would you do and how would you do it?
Do I get my 2 year degree in P.E. transfer and study in the Kinesiology field and take the Physical Education Option? Which I will graduate with a B.S. in Kinesiology. I can become a teacher and a coach or skip the teaching thing and coach. Which is what I would want to do so I can become a Physical Therapist.
Now how do I some what go back to school to become a PT? Becoming a PT is 1 of the options in my degree program. (Pre-Physical Therapy) I would have to further my education 2 and 1/2 more years but I will be doing what I like to do.
Or should I become a P.E. teacher to have a job and work towards my new degree to be a PT. Put in a lot of work at a school to become and AD. When the summer flies around and I’m not working being a full time PT would be my summer job??????
Thanks for the help…I see the school counselors in a few days. Just want to see what the world of answers/yahoo/com thinks?????http://www2.csusm.edu/kinesiology/ for more info….

Question For Physical Therapy Assistants Or Physical Therapists?
Do you like your job?
What are pros& cons?
What’s an average day like for you?
How would u describe the education process?
I’m thinking about this career path…especially PTA. I’m a certified nursing assistant, was planning to become a nurse. But there are several things I don’t like about nursing: (feel like a pill-pusher, ultra-competitiveness, hardly any actual time or contact with patients, too much time doing administrative duties, management, and delegation, and not enough one-on-one work that makes a difference, extremely stressful, etc.)
I know there will be stressful parts of being a PTA as well, and some things i don’t like. But my grandma is in a LTC getting rehabilitation after breaking several bones, and my family feels that the PT’S and PTA’S are the ones who are really helping her. Any thoughts?
Question About Education In Philippines?

A Question About Careers?
What are some good careers? Is teaching a good career? What is the average time a student spends in college and grad school in a lifetime. I am debating on a career and how long I should stay in college. I am considering possibly 3 master’s degrees and I want to know if this is too much, because I have been told that work experience is better than a lot of school. Also, anyone answering this question any of you all have careers in occupational therapy, physical therapy, education, business, any healthcare professionals, if so can I get some insight on these careers and how much pay and how much schooling they take?
