Can someone tell me more info about physical therapy?

Here's more information about physical therapists, http://bitly.com/152DclB .

There are no short cuts to being a PT. You need to get a DPT degree, and it doesn't matter what environment you want to work in. PTs train as generalists, able to treat any population or issue. You can specialize in a particular area later on, after graduation. You can not take just a little training and "work your way up." Clinical positions are not on ladder where you work from one to another with experience - you have to get the appropriate training from the start. If you want less schooling, you might consider becoming a physical therapist assistant. That requires only a two year program at a community college with some prerequisites, and then you can work in a hospital in many places.

it a very good job imagine going to school for a little and right there be able to make more than an RN!!! while RNs go to all this difficult schooling just to get paid possibly less than a physical therapy

Work your way up to what? In patient care, you are specifically educated and certified/licensed for each specific job. You do not go from "intern" to PTA to PT without additional education. You can't even intern as a PT until your final year of PT school.

Who are the "they" who have "great teaching hospitals"? Do you know what teaching hospitals are? They are hospitals that allow students, interns, and residents. As a student or intern, you MUST be enrolled an educational program for the field you are pursuing. Residents are selected by the program directors and are technically students.

If you don't feel 7 years of school is worth it, no prob, but you cannot become a PT without that DPT degree. Maybe look at PTA programs.

Good Luck
