I am highly interested in rehabilitation sciences. I have therefore resolved to pursue a career in that field. However, owing to financial constraints on me as an international student, I have almost settled for a certificate program in physiotherapist/ rehabilitation assistant at Canadian College. The program starts in September 2002. My ultimate aim is to work and save money after the program to enable me to go to University and do physical therapy. I am interested to know if there are jobs in United States for Physiotherapist/rehabilitation assistants. I’d also be happy to learn about the hourly pay rate for this occupation. Above all, I want to be advised if the assistants program is anything worth doing at all or if I have chosen the right path or not. As experts in the field you know a lot about the chosen course, the merits and demerits of my decision than I do. I shall therefore value any advice or assistance that any of you is able to offer before I commit any further money into the program.

I've tried posting twice before this and it's gotten lost - so forgive me if my explanation isn't sufficient.
There are definitly jobs out there especially if you're not picky about places or specialties.
As for schools, my school (I graduate in May) offers discounted tuition for Canadians as well as scholarships. So the choice is yours.
I don't know if any of this information is helpful, but if you have any specific questions you can email me at nyptjen@yahoo.com
Good luck!
