So i take it there is no time to really work and bring in any money with that type of work load. Student loans?
No, you cannot work. I know a few people who had been PTAs, and did some per diem work here and there. However, it wasn't much, and they were already at an advantage because they had been working as PTAs for many years and therefore they already knew a lot of the stuff that was new to everyone else. Nearly everyone takes out student loans unless you have some type of prepaid program that your grandparents did or money set aside or whatever. It's a 2.5yr $30,000 program.
Not really. The typical DPT graduate has about $30,000 worth of loans. You'll be making nearly double that when you graduate. That ratio is pretty good considering a lot of teachers and business degree grads start out at less than $20,000 a year with just as much debt. You make monthly payments, there's no set time you have to have them paid off by. It's reasonable to have them paid off within 3-5 years.
