I live in Ohio and would like to attend college in Ohio or surrounding states but all suggestions are appreciated. I would like to get my bachelor’s degree in exercise science, biology, athletic training, just about anything that would be beneficial to a career in physical therapy.
Sports Physical Therapist?
I am very interested in medicine, but I do not think I could handle the rigorous training and studying to become an MD. Sports has always been a huge part of my life, and I have always been interested in therapy so I just put two and two together and figured out I might actually enjoy this work. I have done some research and found out I may need a lot of pre-requisites to get into exercise science. I live in NYC and I am currently attending a college that doesn’t have my major. I can transfer to two colleges in Brooklyn that offer it, but I know the college I’m attending now has a better learning environment so I was wondering if I could possibly take all the required courses here and then transfer to one of the colleges in Brooklyn and declare my major there. I don’t want to DPT I just want to specialize in sports so I have a higher advantage when it comes time for job placement than someone who just has a general education of PT.

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?

Which Is A Better Career? Physical Therapist? Occupational Therapist?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 16, 2010
I’m very fickle about deciding once and for all on a major and everything. I’m fairly certain that I want to be in the health field, and I’m currently enrolled for Health and Sciences, which is broad and helps prepare for more schooling. I don’t know whether I’d like Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy more. Or even recreational Therapy. I’m just going by a career aptitude test I took a while ago, and all of those are listed.. along with Chiropractor. and others. I know nursing isn’t for me already. Anyone have some advice? I haven’t even been in a health setting really because I’ve never been sick with anything. BAH!
