As an aspiring Physical Therapist it’s really disappointing the amount of money PTs make. As someone who’s going to school doing Pre Reqs and prepping for GRE and applications. My fiancé and I are both going in the field. I love what I do, but money plays a factor down the line, and if i’m going to school for 7-8 for this I feel like PTs as a whole should be making more. My uncle got in a car accident last year and went to physical therapy. For 12 visits he paid $300 out of pocket and insurance payed $700, while he told me the cost normally without insurance was $3300, essentially $2300 in dead money. That specific clinic closed about a month later. It’s just insane how big of a scam insurance is to the healthcare industry. So as a student right now why don’t Physical Therapists fight and strike for better pay? I just want a better understanding I am not trying to bash on the profession or offend anyone I am just curious.

Edit: I am an Aide right now, don’t mean to offend people, genuinely just curious. No plans on changing my career, don’t mean to sound like I know what i’m talking about when I say “I love what i do” 😭

I really want to go to his show with my gf but tickets are so expensive, should I buy them now? Or should I wait until a few days before, I don’t want to miss the chance to buy tickets so i’m nervous. 😬

I recently took my final exam for Kines 165 and barely passed the class, however a lot of my peers did not and he took down his contact info what should they do? Also what happens if you don’t pass a class before graduation if it is a grad requirement?

I currently have a 70% in the class, with the lowest grade I can get to pass the class being a 68.5%. His class total points are approximately 450 total points with exams and labs. I need a 29/50 on the final to pass (58%). My highest test score is 60%. I have never been a great test taker, and his questions are worded so weirdly. Have people taken him before? Does he round your grade if you fall short by 1 point? I am supposed to graduate with my degree this saturday but this can hold me back another year.
