Genuine question or honestly more of a concern, where the old/senior PT's at? I have worked at 3 jobs outpatient/tennis club until now and in all of them I never seen or worked with an old PT all of my colleagues where between 26 and 35 max. Except for my college professors or in clinical rotations I haven't worked with any idk if it's just only my experience or the settings I worked at. But I am concerned if they quit and switch careers cuz of the physical toll (I already have back pain at 24 😩😭 )or go academia idk. So any seniors in this sub?

Hey guys! I have been self-learning python for a while currently I just started learning pandas(scikit-learn/matplotlib next)(focusing on data work) doing good so far but what's bothering me is CAN I GET A JOB after I finish learning and having built a portfolio of projects? I come from healthcare and thinking about transitioning into a tech role that's also healthcare related IF POSSIBLE, I heard Subject Matter Expertise (SME) is somewhat important but not sure if it's enough to get me job while not being originally a tech graduate. There's also M.sc degrees in digital health or health informatics which explicitly say they accept tech grads and health professionals ( certain degrees require a bridge course tho) but still I am not sure if pursuing another degree in this economy is possible or even worth it. So what do you guys think is getting a job possible for someone like me if yes, should I just stick to self-learning or go for a M.sc (or even both)? Or go for Bootcamps there is some renowned bootcamps in Germany that seem legit like neue Fische. Also even if I can only do some freelance work is enough but you guys advise me which path allows that the best.

PS: I like healing people through my job but being constantly entangled with patients and other healthcare professionals in my clinic is getting tyring for an introvert like me hence trying to do smth different while still utilising my expertise. Also I am based in Europe (Germany).

I'll go first: when people see me they go "oh can I get a MaSsaGE🫠🥲"

This sub needs a bit of humor i guess.
