What do you think? How much should a DPT make?
Comment from : @PTProgress

I have decided to pursue travel PT as a new grad due to the financial benefits associated with it and also the ease of trying different settings when I want to see which setting I prefer long-term I don’t believe with the debt I currently have that it’s truly realistic to pay it all off within a reasonable amount of time at a private clinic To me, only nonprofit (federal loan forgiveness plan) or travel/home health/SNF/PRN make the most sense until I’m in a more financially stable position to pursue other settings

Being a DPT doesn’t pay Get MD, PA, or even pharmacist because they pay more Or be a PTA—-less student loans, more money
Comment from : @no_BS_just_principles

Personally known of PTAs in a SNF in California are paid the same with DPTs or experienced PTs in Georgia If not more
Comment from : @no_BS_just_principles

On average how many clients do you see in a day?
Comment from : @taqwabaity9195

Your explanation is dumb I think you need to understand the amount of specialization within your profession warrants more pay What PTs seem to be experiencing is education inflation, too much school and too high of a cost for less paybrbrFYI, even tradesman can make over 100k simply by their level of specialization Why so high? well because they are deserving of it given their specialty just like Physical Therapist especially those trained at a doctorate level brbrI know PE teachers with lesser years of schooling that make 100k Do you think they should the make less ? brbrIn my opinion, the answer is NObrbrIf you yourself don’t even vouch for higher pay within the profession and want physical therapist to work harder and not smarter to earn it than you are just shooting your self in the foot I am sorry I don’t think you have enough critical thinking and I wouldn’t go to you as a physical therapist because of the lack of it

I'm PT here in Brazil, and here so poorly paid , that some services pay amounts equivalent to university monthly payment I intend to get my green card next year and try my license in your country, because here in Brazil it is inhumane and the cost of living only increases
Comment from : @rodrigocoelho6001

According to a survey by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, a physical therapist's salary averages $88,880 annually, with only 10 percent of PTs earning less than $60,390, and the highest-earning upwards of $123,350

I'm a PTA I making 55-65k a year after 3-4years experience working in outpatient I became very skilled and now do travel work With the contracts I've got lined up, I should make 80-100k now
Comment from : @badgerlifter9572

So you recommended to pursue OP better than DPT ??
Comment from : @daviddiaz8812

6 clients per day, 80 usd per 60 minutes session (which results in 8-10 hours days), 5 days per week, 4 weeks of holidays, amounts to 105k per year, minus studio rent, expenses, VAT, taxes, etc you’re looking at about 40k net per year

I'm a Home Health PTA with a BS and your video was great! I'm contemplating returning to school for DPT and your videos are very helpful!

Any medical professional with a doctorate degree deserves AT LEAST $115,000 a year
Comment from : @BigDonch

88k dollar per year salary converted into our currency ( in India ) is like even more than average MBBS doctor😐
Comment from : @helloyoutube7280

Any insight on the earning potential of pursuing a dual degree like DPT-MPH (3 years) or DPT-PhD? Would these programs be worth it / lead to a higher salary long term

Facts 🙌💯

In Southern California , u can make 125k easy in nursing homes with a side gig of home health
Comment from : @eyecontact13

One of the best things I did was go to CSU Northridge instead of usc Saved thousands on student loans
Comment from : @eyecontact13

Hi, can I have your honest advice? What do you think I get in to pt, dpt school(6years) in my age 40? I probably on and off graduate around 50! Is it not really realistic for career in the future? Thank you!
Comment from : @Nirvanow

PT? ha it is enough for bachlor degree
Comment from : @themoon6067

I think because of the demand, and how competitive is to get into PT school, the average should be a little higher (maybe $95k/year) and always be adjusted with inflation

Comment from : @priyankapillay6827

I have a quick question, what does it mean when the program is CAPTE developing Is this type of program worth applying for or attending
Comment from : @saulgarcia3113

actually many argue that PTs should make more because of how hard PT school is there are 2 med student dropouts who switched to pt school and they said that this is the biggest shitshow of their life in addition, pt school in my school is 10x harder than the ot program basically, we have med students struggling in pt school and this shows how difficult acquiring this degree really is
Comment from : @zipzap983

3rd year SPT and I know 100 won’t be taking a home health job I want to work with PTs and become a better PT first opposed to making money right away Life’s not all about money I would rather work with a population I want and be able to learn from other PTs opposed to making more money and not having the fun I know I could have
Comment from : @TalkativeMime1

Thank you for this info!!
Comment from : @ellieramos

Hey man, I've been watching a lot of your videos and I'm in kind of a similar spot that you were My degree is accounting and I'm currently working as an auditor, but I am starting to think that accounting/finance and business in general are not the right careers for me I'm really considering pt school(at an affordable state school, don't worry lol) and was wondering, what was your experience in finance before pt school? Do you feel like it prepared you to be successful in pt in any way? With your business background, have you ever considered opening your own practice? Thanks for the videos, they are full of good info
Comment from : @MT-cn2uk

Thank you very much for all of ur advices etc it really helped me think more about this profession, i look forward for more helpful advice
Comment from : @sato3273

Hi Tim! I came across your channel a week ago and wanted to see what your thoughts were on DPT vs MBA I was accepted into UNTHSC, it's a state school in Texas I would still need to take loans out to pay for the program but I don't have any undergraduate loans Do you think it's worth still attending the DPT program considering the debt to salary ratio Or attempting an MBA that is less expensive compared to DPT
Comment from : @melissareyes3883

I'm an undergraduate student of physical therapy In my country, we have bachelor's degree of physical therapy which is about six years including five years of academic and clinical experience and one year of mandatory intership When we are graduated, we earn the degree of physical therapy specialist So, is DPT is a higher degree than what we will earn One more question, Which degree is equivalent to mine in the US?brHope I find an answerbrThanks in advance :)

Do you have any videos or recommendations on working in HH? I just finished my PT program and am getting ready for the NPTE this spring I did primarily inpatient rehab and outpatient ortho settings for my rotations but I’m definitely interested in working HH I’m just worried about having zero previous exposure to that setting before trying to apply and work in it
Comment from : @aaronward228

Hey Tim, thanks for the really informative video! What are your thoughts regarding whether earning certain specializations in PT such as Sports can lead to higher paying opportunities in the field Thank you so much
Comment from : @ashbhatti1670

Just out of curiosity Is it still possible to make 6 figures in home health after the implementation of PDGM? I heard there were major salary cuts across the board and tons of layoffs Thanks! Your videos really help bring clarity for us future physical therapists entering the field
Comment from : @allday9689

I’m a PTA Is it any chance to purchase just the visit notes? I don’t need the rest like evaluation and POC notes
Comment from : @marinaosykina8553

I work in home health as a new grad and love it! only problem is I make a low starting salary due to the company I work with being considered "oupatient on wheels" and billing medicare B Any advice for me to get my salary up? Change to a different company that bills medicare part A?
Comment from : @nholley11

Is the salary for Physical Therapist rising throughout the years or has it always been around what you said?
Comment from : @ramezshawareb6828

You offer some solid advice I am a PM&R physician and frequent the PT forums on SDN often The discussions there don't even touch on the topics to the extent you talk about them here Kudos to you, Tim
Comment from : @sloh722

Sirbr I am from India studying bachelor of physical therapy in 3 nd year so for master of physical therapy which is the best universities in USA , what exam I have to give and what is the procedure for addmission and how can I get scholarship ??
Comment from : @ravnitdeshpande

2nd year PT nowIve done HH rotation already, some homes are terrible, some not so bad As soon as I graduate Im dead set on home health because of the pay and do prn in outpatient Your rubrics for documentation is definitely a purchase I will be making Any advice on non-profit org vs private HH service? Thanks
Comment from : @cdhballr8

I’m a 2nd yr DPT student and I think I would love home health! I’ve definitely heard the advice to wait a bit out of school before practicing in that environment due to the mentorship aspect I was able to shadow a HH PTA for a week before school but I know it would look much different from the PTs perspective Any advice/resources on how to move forward with a HH career early out of PT school?
