@oliver__payne: How are you earning extra income as a PT??💰 I’ve been putting my extra energy outside of the 9–5 clinic life into social media. I really think it can become a scalable source of income over time. Curious what other PTs are doing to earn 💰 outside the clinic — are you working PRN, doing online coaching, or something completely different? #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #physicaltherapystudent #financialfreedom #studentloans
The fact that people with a doctorate even need “side hustles “ is saddddd

Dr. Dan, DPT :
As someone that’s effectively done what you’re talking about I just wanna say that it’s worth it and you can do it. Let me know if I can help out in any way 💪🏻

D. Scott Davis PT, MS, EdD :
Hard to beat $100 an hour helping people live a better life. The old adage is WIN-WIN. I hope my TIKTOK time is adding value to society but it pales in value to help humans thrive and students to learn.

Not a PT yet, but that’s why I started posting now! Prepping to use socials as a side-income

I totally agree with you! I feel like by supporting each other through engagement we can continue to grow to push you more towards financial freedom through growing your platform. Love your videos!

I would like to know how many Dr PTs are still doing it 10 to 15 years after graduating. it's something that is not tracked.

I ref club volleyball tournaments on the weekends so I mainly work Jan-April. It’s a good switch up from working in PT throughout the week and I’m giving back to the game I loved and played for 16 years competitively. I view it as my “fun money”.

Worked my first year out of PT school at an outpatient franchise in Chicago making decent money but just switched to travel PT last August and am now making way more and only work 30 hours a week Mon-Thurs. Definitely recommend switching to travel

Almost 30 years in.. the pay raises haven’t been great! I should be making 20 to 30 k more than I am. I wish we could advocate to get paid for the doctorate required.

My wife (also a PT) and I have been doing travel PT since graduating in 2022. Make great money and work/life balance is great. We were able to pay off my loans (had 42k) but wife still has a good amount. I have dreams of being financially free as well. Honestly I’ve been looking at switching careers and/or similar to you - doubling down on social media or creating a non-PT business. Best of luck brotha!

Currently a year out working at a mill just to get some clinical experience but transiting into travel PT soon! I've considered fitness content on the side sharing my 260lb weight loss journey while in PT school, any tips on how to start social media?

Maddie Hargis | PT, DPT :
I work as a group fitness instructor 1x/week (3-5 hours). So it doesn’t give me too much extra income, but it also provides me with a free gym membership 🤷🏼♀
