I'm starting my PT degree at the end of may at a school in South Florida. I love PT and I'm sure that this is the career for me.
However, in this thread I want people to be as real as possible!! I don't want to hear feel good stories about helping people and changing lives, because I already have done hundreds of hours of volunteer work and have a good idea already about that side of physical therapy that I have come to love so much. I know what the internet says about average salary and projected growth.
I want to know from practicing PT's, what its like when you go home at night? When your cashing your checks. Are you worried about money? Are you able to keep up with the high loan repayments? Do you own a home and/or a car? Can you take care of your family/kids? Are you in the strip club making it rain? lol kidding
What are your financial struggles? Please be as vain and gritty as possible
Thanks
