I have been thinking about both being a dentist and a PT. I will give reasons for both
Dentist:
Pros:
-Its fun
-Good salary 120k-200k
-Not too demanding job4-5 days a week if that
Cons:
-Huge loans anywhere from 200k-350k
Physical Therapist
Pros:
-Its fun
-I enjoy everything about muscles and therapy
-Seems like I would be a top PT
-In-State looking at 80k-100k debt
-If I apply to PT school I will most definitely get in
Cons:
-Schooling for 7 years only to start with 60k maximum 100k if that
I realize do what your heart wants but I like both professions, also I am realistic and an oppertunist if I am going to school for 7-8 years (undergrad & Grad) I want to make a lot of money. Also after taxes PTs are not looking at much. I just want to know all of your opinions and also how common is for a PT to make a 100k?
