Education:

Having a thought about becoming a Physical Therapist anyone can have, but actually taking the time and getting the proper education to become a Physical Therapist is the part that people stop at. You will need a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, and a bachelor's degree. There are a lot of colleges that have a physical therapist major like: University of Florida, University of Miami, and University of Delaware. I personally like the University of Miami. The University of Miami works well with what I want to major in because I will have enough to pay my tuition. To stay on campus, it would be $68,458 and with my major I would make $86,850 a year at least, so I wouldn’t have to worry about money issues. If I have loans to pay off after school, I would use 50% of my pay check to pay college debts off.

In my Opinion:

Personally, I think a Physical Therapist fits me as a person great, because I love to help people and put other people first before I do myself. I always try and make everybody feel better when they are down or upset. I personally just like to see people smile, laugh, and do great things, and it makes me feel even better when I know that I just helped somebody who really needed it. I always try to have a positive vibe with people and try to have a great energy. It isn’t always about the money to me if I enjoy what I’m doing I’m going to continue to keep doing it.
