DPT worth it?
The PT reddit posts I've seen have made me wary and I want to be sure that I'm not making a mistake pursuing a DPT...
I feel very passionate about going into the field and was planning on applying this upcoming cycle. I am a rising senior in undergrad studying neuro. I will have no debt from undergrad thanks to military benefits and therefore will have enough saved for DPT school debt-free. The biggest downside I've heard is the ROI, with DPT school being too expensive for the resulting pay. Given that I won't have debt, is it still a mistake to commit to this profession? Current PTs: taking money out of the equation, do you regret choosing this path?
As of right now, I would love to do neurologic PT in the future. Obviously I can't be sure that this won't change, but I've been a tech at an ortho outpatient for 1.5 years and love when we have the occasional neuro case. Could any neuro PTs speak to their experience as well??
