12 Unforgiving PT School Application MISTAKES
7 Reasons to NOT get into Physical Therapy

[itisfinshedpsalm]

I'm about to be 40 and want to get into a PTA program. I need to take the TEAS but I've learned to not care about how old I'll be. You are never to old to make a difference!

[thejenny]

No one here is old lol I’m 31 and barely doing my prerequisites to get into the program. I’m just glad to finally be able to follow my passion. This video was super helpful!

[khollis]

Love the content brotha. Im the ripe young age of 33 lol and finally deciding to go back to school to become a PTA. I dropped out of college after receiving my Associates degree over 10 years ago because I had no idea what I wanted to do.. I've been working as a personal trainer the past 5 years, which surprisingly had a lot of cross over with PT/rehab type work. Training hundreds of clients dealing with pain and trying to help them made me realize I wanted to go back to school and expand my knowledge in this field. Anyways, youre never too old to make a career change! this video helped a lot

[andrenunez]

This is very inspiring. I am on my 5th semester in my 18 month PTA program. Taking the boards in October. Cant wait to be in Paul's shoes💯

[uragonako]

Thank you for sharing your story. I am currently taking pre-requisites for nursing but physical therapy is my preferred career choice. Definitely pursuing PTA and thank you such an awesome advice. By the way congratulations for passing your PTA board exam 🎉

[worthystudio]

Thank you for making this video! There’s so much negativity online about PTA being an awful job and being phased out. I start the PTA program in January, so thank you!

[akajazzy]

Congrats Paul on your success, this journey isn’t easy but it’s definitely worth it ! I’m a recent PTA grad. And to hear that his program was roughly 45k 😳 my program was about 10k.... I’m in Georgia.

[debtfreeF]

Love this! You're a great interviewer and the conversation flowed so well. It's so cool to learn the perspectives from a PTA and to learn about how Paul made his decisions leading to his career. Great job!

[oopsassy]

I’m in my first semester of PTA, this really helped!

[NatFablife]

Ooouuu keep 👏🏽 that 👏🏽 postive flow👏🏽 I’m just here to be your support.

[MorganBF]

I already have an AS degree in massage therapy and a BA in psych. I was really stuck between if I wanted to go for a DPT or PTA as DPT was always the end goal, but PTAs get more patient time. Looking forward to watching this!

[wolflike]

Yo this is great!!! Especially for the SPTAs. thank you for acknowledging more about them as a PT, Dr!

[josephdelgado]

Great interview!!! I’m currently a sophomore in college & interested in the PTA program. The video was very helpful!!!

[FitnesswithTara]

This is such a great video for fitness/exercise science grads who are trying to make career decisions! Thank you 🙏

[Mr.Uzumakiii]

Wow this video was🔥. I learned so much, And I can’t wait to grind as a PTA

[JustAHevel]

Thanks for the info and the time you put into this! I'll be applying to my local pta program within the next few months and I've also started shadowing. Blessings!
