Hi Everyone,
So I have been heavily considering attempting to attain my DPT from a state school in NY and I had a question about salaries. I know the profession is not geared towards those who are looking to make big bucks but it would be remiss of me not to consider compensation. Anyway, I'm seeing everything from 55k-70k starting salary along with median salaries anywhere from 75k-85k. http://physicaltherapysalary.org/
I've also seen a steady trend of increasing salaries for PTs: http://www.advanced-medical.net/wp-...5/How-Much-Does-A-Physical-Therapist-Make.jpg.
Can anyone comment on the trends they have seen? What can an aspiring PT hope to make. I only ask because prices of education are sky-rocketing.
Also, anyone who has gone the traveling PT route, can you give me some insight as to the experience and compensation?
Thank you.
