Hey guys, first post.
I know parts of this might sound dumb but I have a few questions about becoming a Physical Therapist. To keep it simple I guess I will just make a list of the things I don't know/have questions about.
Edit: also what about min GPA? 3.0 most places?

- When becoming a PT, do most people get a job in the field after they get their bachelors? Or do they go to school for 6-7 years full time to earn there DPT or PhD?
- If you do get a job in the filed after your bachelors do you move up after you get your masters? As far as work goes?
- What is the difference between a PhD and a DPT? Is one harder?
- Do you need a DPT or PhD to get a job? I read an article that says by 2020 most people in the field should have a PhD
- Whats the pay difference with a masters vs PhD?
Edit: also what about min GPA? 3.0 most places?
