Nice!

How'd you come across this? IMO OTs make a good salary as well. (remember guys, I think 70k is a lot), and PTA salary??? huh?

I came across it in my Child Development class. Our professor asked us to take an assessment from the website, so I explored a little and found out about its awesome career information material.

cheers!

I thought it was a low-ball figure that they posted for PTA's. A year after graduating a PTA program 4.5 years ago, I was able to negotiate $26, then $29.50, a year and a half later at my next job. It's been uphill from there. Most other PTA's I've worked with in a few different states (although we are not supposed to talk about salaries), are making above the average given. An awesome website, though!!

So as a starting salary what would you assume? I live in the northwest coastal area.

And an experienced (after about 5 years) PTA salary?

Thanks

well, the figures are national averages, so different places will have different pays.

True, about it being the national average, where the pay is obviously going to differ. I guess I've been lucky having worked in a few different states that have paid well. Perhaps down the road, I'll move to a state that doesn't, who knows...
