Or will i need to go back to college for a few years or only complete a few more classes to become a physical therapy assistant? What class are most desired? Recommendations for online schools?? Thank you!

| I recently got accepted into a Physical Therapy Assistant program and I was wondering if I should also get a BS in Physical Education with a concentration in Health and Exercise Science. I heard that it looks better for when you get a job but I talked to a girl that's already in the PTA program and she said it really didn't matter if you got a BS in Health and Exercise or not. Is that true? So i'm basically just wondering is it worth it to do the Health and Exercise Science major also? Thanks!

 | Im currently in school to become a Physical Therapy Assistant and I wanted to work as a PT Aide for the experience.

| I'm a little confused about working as a PTA versus getting a Physical Therapy degree. I looked at some job listings in my state for Physical Therapists and it indicated a BS or MS (or DPT) in Physical Therapy plus licensure was required, but I thought you couldn't get licensed with just a bachelor's in Physical Therapy (there are a couple of Bach. Phys. Therapy programs in my state). Will a Bachelor's in Physical Therapy allow me to work as a physical therapy assistant while pursuing a graduate degree, or do I have to go through the lesser Associates in Physical Therapy program which seems more geared toward a physical therapy assistant job. Also, any other undergraduate majors I can pursue which are related but which could provide me with income while I pursue the DPT?

| Is it similar to a CNA and/or Physical Therapy Assistant job? And what kind of pay could I expect? This would be for a position that does not require any type of certification or experience, just on the job training.

| I'm currently taking prerequisites to get into the physical therapy assistant program and I'm trying to get a job to help me out through school. I really need one right now and I'm tired of applying at these places like walmart or mcdonalds or other places. I still haven't had any luck so i started to think of applying to other places instead like banks but then i started to think of applying for a physical therapy aide position because that's the setting I'm going to be working in when i get my degree and i could use the experience for later on.
how do i go about looking for a job in this position? Its more professional vs. applying for a McDonalds job so i wan't to go about it the right way. I'm not sure where to start.
thanks!!

do you have to do any decision making or do you just do what the physical therapist tells you to do?
