Has any physical therapist or PTA ever wanted to leave healthcare or pivot careers? This is coming from someone trying to do a career switch but only got an undergrad degree kin ,just genuinely interested . and why?
Im 25 Year old interested in different fields, I recently got a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology which hasn't landed me any jobs. Worked as an Aide in PT clinic and burnt out social battery so fast.
Im interested in pursuing either Biomedical Equipment Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technician or Aircraft Mechanic, I feel as though these paths fit my personality better than a 1-1 patient care role. I Have applied to apprenticeships and entry level roles to little luck, the only thing my CC offers is nursing and HVAC.
Hello all I graduated with a bachelors and was en route for a dpt degree but the cap to student loans because California schools are 200k for physical therapists plus i worked after undergrad and the outpatient was horrible setting. Plus im more introverted INTJ type so should i try to pivot to something like engineering, biomedical equipment repair, aircraft maintenance , hvac ?or thug it out and go to PTA school because there is a free program near me, PTA is similar but less pay and little more hands on
