There are regularly scandals in Florida about pain pills and doctors and prescriptions. Too many doctors throwing too many scripts around to too many people for too many pills when the doctor isn’t really sure who the patient is!
edit: I use Tramadol (Ultram) to manage my chronic pain.

According to the bureau of labor and statistics, the field of physical therapy is expected to grow “much faster than average” (more than 26%) through 2014.
The payscale is comfortable. The last major survery was completed in 2005 which revealed that most PTs were earning between $ 50-70,000 a year. Yet, the scale is broad with still another 25% earning more than that.
This profession requires you to be a good problem sovler and be able to analyze different situations. You must really enjoy and be comfortable around people.
In the US, it now requires a master’s degree or a doctorate level degree and entrance into PT programs is generally comeptitive. Meaning, just because you meet the minimum requirements does not mean you will be accepted into the program. The APTA has a good section for students on their website at: http://www.apta.org and go to the educational programs section.
The only bad things I predict for the field is if we get a national health care plan. If so, I think a lot of PTs will loose their jobs as the government tries to regulate who gets PT and who doesn’t. The same can be said about any health care professional. The same thing happened when Clinton reformed Medicare…although it needed to be done, many people lost their jobs until they “go the kinks worked out.” So, even if they do, the pendulum will eventually swing back and the job will be in demand again.
