Lots-o-math and age question on PT

1. How much math is there in PT school?
2. How do you estimate return in investment for PT if you are in your early 30's and thinking about PT school? I am 1/3 done with prerequisites. Does PTA make more sense at my age??
Thnkx!

1)I would say you at least have to be comfortable with Algebra, Trigonometry and Statistics. Our biomechanics course was pretty mathy but nothing more complicated than solving for x^2 in an equation. And then obviously setting up angles of forces and pulls of muscles (Trig)

2) Entirely depends on what you make now versus after PT school. Plus the cost of education to go to PT school which varies wildly.
