Sounds like you answered your own question. Good luck.



Thanks man. And even though I don't need to reel in 70k to feel comfortable, what is the realistic hourly rate for a PTA in your experience? Cause I don't want to be broke either.

I've been out for a year in May and most of my classmates make between 30 and 35 an hour. There are outliers but most fall in that range.

Go with PT if you can get in. You will have double the earning potential with a doctorate degree vs an associate degree.

Nosaj, I know in home health I pay my PTA about 40$/visit before taxes. In outpatient or hospital settings I'm not real sure, but I would think you'd start at least 40-45k/year?
