The Right Profession
Just recently I ran across a blog about Physical Therapists being one of the best careers. Being a Physical Therapist I must agree. This article does make some great points on the characteristics to consider when choosing PT as a career path. Here is what Alexa Harrington from Educated Nation suggests:
Best Careers: Physical Therapists
Physical therapists work with patients and any number of medical professionals who may be involved with the treatment of a given patient. So, clearly, being a people person is necessary. But a PT also gets to be pretty autonomous, which is a plus if you dislike taking orders.
If you loathe repetition, then you may enjoy being a PT. No two humans are exactly alike, and neither are their illnesses / injuries. Which means every patient is new and different.
Many of these characteristics can also carry you into other arenas. There are numerous other jobs that a therapist can hold these days (i.e. management, teaching, recruiting…just to name a few) Physical Therapy is a great career and has many opportunities.
