I will be free from June to Sept. before I start a PT school. I would like to find a job in healthcare for those 3 summer months. A PT aid position would be wonderful, but I have heard that they are usually low paid. Do you guys have any suggestions what kind of positions I should look for? I heard, for example, that chiropractor tech (or something like that) are better paid than PT aids.

at this point i would take any job where you would be in a position to save a lot of money. you're already accepted into a pt program now is the time to worry about financing that program. i, personally, would wait tables and bartend and bring in a couple hundred a day rather then a pt tech to only bring in a few hundred a week. i start my program in may

and i have worked as a pt tech.

agreed, with rltruong. Try to get a job with decent pay rather than a "medical field" job for the experience. You will have tons of this throughout school, and plus the hard part of getting into school is already done

Just find something that pays well. Working as a PT tech for $9/hr won't help you out a ton in the long run.
