I'm really struggling right now and am wondering if this is normal. I'm a non traditional PT applicant. I left the military, had some kids and have taken a few years to do pre reqs and observation hours (and work). I was finally accepted in my second round applying but now I'm suddenly feeling really unsure about everything. I guess I'm intimidated by the debt load (estimated 80k) with a family as that burden will be shared by them. Although I'm working part time as a personal trainer, I could go back to work full time in another field and start at near the top end salary wise of what I will ever make as a PT. This field doesn't excite me but it's not terrible and it's very stable with room to advance. I know I would love PT....that's not the issue....but my practical side is screaming at me too. Is this just cold feet? Or are these valid concerns? Any thoughts for me? Thanks!
