@drklebarfinance: I get asked all the time: “Is physical therapy worth it as a career?” I don’t think there’s a simple yes or no. Before committing to PT, you need to ask yourself these 3 questions: 1️⃣ Can I accept the financial & time tradeoff? 7 years of school and potentially $100k+ of education debt is a big investment. You need to tread carefully and attempt to keep your debt to income ratio around 1:1 at all costs 2️⃣ Do I actually want to work in healthcare? Helping people is great, but healthcare can be physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. You need to decide if helping people in the context of medicine, movement, and improving function is right for you 3️⃣ Do I want my career to feel fulfilling & what brings me fulfillment? PT can be incredibly rewarding if you enjoy working with people, solving problems, and making a tangible difference in someone’s life. But if you want to make as much money as fast as possible, I’d recommend looking elsewhere I love being a PT, and in my personal situation, it was worth it. But this does not apply to everyone.
