Education: Before they are allowed to practice, physical therapists (PT's) must have earned graduate degrees from acccredited academic programs in physical therapy. These programs typically culminate in a doctoral degree and take a least three years to complete. Most physical therapist education programs require applicants to earn a bachelor's degree prior to admission into the proffesional DPT program.
Demand for this profession: This proffesion is highly overrated, there are many phyisical therapists and i believe that they make an impact in patients life by helping them overcome theyre pain.
Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
 No i do not think i would like to become a Physical Therapist. Even though this is a great proffession, i do not see myself as one. This  field brings you a lot of money that will help you be stabalized, but i wouldnt want to be one. Being a physical therapist can help other poeple in need who are going through pain and suffering, whih will make yo feel good about yourself if you are able to help them out. Either way i wouoldnt want to become one, because i am interested in a different type of field.
