I'm 36 years old and just starting my CC journey with hopes of being DPT. This video was very helpful in me deciding the path I'm going to take. Thank you!

[armandodnieves]

I’m a PTA and about to start working while finishing up my bachelors for DPT school. It’ll take me two extra semesters but it’ll be worth it! Definitely the way to go!

[josephpelto]

As a 24 year old who is looking to get into the physical therapy field, this was very helpful. Just curious if anyone else wants to work as a PTA or DPT because of an injury they have experienced.

[semiprohey]

I took the Green route and now i am a month away from completion. Can't believe it's the most common one. Love your content !

[ericdoan]

Completed PTA on April 2021 > Completed my BSPTA March 2024 > Accepted to DPT School April 2024.

Yes, it was longer and probably going to be more expensive. However, the hands-on experience and exposure to the profession are priceless and invaluable. I am anxious to start DPT school in the Fall of 2024, but because of my journey, I feel ready and super confident I will understand the material much faster than others.

[SneakerHeadz]

Still at the starting point but your videos have helped so much. I don’t have to wing it. Thank you so much for this video especially but the other videos that helped so far. A little scary journey but I know it’ll be worth it. 30 years young and finally know what I wanna do in this lifetime. Everyone journey is different, take that leap of faith no matter your age !!!

[dakyac]

I’m 23 and just now figured out what I want to do with pursuing a career, I found that DPT is the best for me because of my high interest level towards it with passion. Really don’t know how to navigate a path when it comes to education on this career but you give me better understanding and less stress on making the game plan to becoming one. Thank you for making these videos and keep going please

[BlueRoseYordan]

I am currently a Correctional Officer and I'm hate my job. I am 25 years old looking for something new. I would like to get my DPT due to an injury that inspired me to take this path. I'll be starting on the CC path, I have just a small amount of college and I flunked out when I was 18 so Ill be starting fresh trying to get my GPA up. This video was very helpful because I had no clue where to start! Thank you so much!

[ethanwinkfield]

Started late in school, I’m 22 being a rehab aide and start school in the fall on a PTA—>DPT track. Your videos have been helpful in deciding my path

[_C_G]

Thank you for this. I'm currently in the Army and im trying to pursue a new career. I'm so lost with how to navigate college.Your videos will keep me on track and motivated.

PTA curriculum is intense and many DPT programs require lots of science courses that PTA doesn’t include. The one I am in doesn’t have an option for part time PTA courses. I will be taking more science classes on breaks and likely when I start to work if I decide to go on to DPT. Then I need a bachelors too since there are only 2 bridge programs in this country.

[garrettfunke]

Currently 19 in a community college. Only need 27 credits to graduate with my associates and now you’ve given me insight to pursue pta! Also working as a para educator so hopefully that looks good on resumes and gives me experience in the field I am going into

[BZE]

I’m in high school and graduating this year and this is the career I wanna do.

[richiecee]

Im a kinesiology graduate with experience as a 4 months experience as a physiotherapist and chiropractic assistant, and 3 years of experience as a ergonomic project coordinator in industrial plants and offices. I always wanted to be a physiotherapist but i got side tracked and trying to re-align myself. Im 24 right now and live in Toronto Canada, im reviewing my options

[garretthopkins]

You forgot to mention that PTA school can be fairly expensive. If you want to be a Dpt it’d be hard for me to recommend PTA first. I’m starting Dpt school this summer btw! Love your content

[BlackWidowMom]

My son is a senior and this was so helpful to us!

[JoseGarcia-cern]

Currently in community college !! Thinking about going to through that PTA school !

[Caroline-rpi]

I agree that that path is really the best way to go! I am in my first year of undergrad at a 4-year university, getting an exercise science degree from Grove City College and transferring in some of my gen eds from community college (I did dual enrollment in my senior year of High School and am taking some gen eds over the summer). The plan is to go to PT school after I get my bachelor's. A little scared about finances though, given I can't gain much extra money with my exer sci degree until I get a graduate education. I figured I could work as an aide for a gap year after undergrad, but one of my professors advised against a gap since most people don't go back to school after "taking a break." I already am working as an aide, but my pay is low, and I'm getting barely any hours because of other student aides and only working seasonally. May need to work multiple jobs or just seasonal retail to earn enough money. I am the first member of my family going into the medical field, so I'm pretty clueless. Justin and folks in the comments, what would be your two cents?

[PreciseIsGaming]

i graduated from undergrad and i’m taking a year off before starting pt school in the meantime i’m a personal trainer

Just went back to community college after army. I've been thinking about how to get the most for my work and have decided to not worry about the pace. I'm okay with taking it slow. I wasn't sure if PTA would be worth it ... but between the army tuition assistance and the reasonable progress financially, plus exposure to the field to see if I even like it enough to devote (essentially) the rest of my life to it, it is starting to sound like a good idea. I dont get the best grades but when it comes to practical learning there are few in the world who learn as quickly and as deeply as I do.

Thanks for the video and tackling these questions. It helps to confirm my goals. I might not be as classy to flaunt being a young doctor or as wealthy as a graduated doctor but I don't think such things are worth choking down massive debt and instant noodles for half my life. Hee hee
