StephanieC -> school and career questions (January 10, 2003 10:19:00 AM)
|
I graduated in May 2002 with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I have been working as an engineer in for the past five months now, and realize now that this is definately not the career for me. I have always been interested in a career in physical therapy, but never seriously considered it until now. I have a few questions, if anyone can give me some answers, or point me in the right direction, I would definately appreciate it! [IMG]http://www.rehabedge.com/forums/smile.gif[/IMG]
1. How much more additional schooling will I need on top of my current degree to become a physical therapist?
2. My fiance is in the Navy and we will probably be moving quite often...my present career as a chemical engineer does not lend itself well to this lifestyle. My guess would be that physical therapy would be a little more flexible (no pun intended) and that it would not be limited geographically to one or two regions in the United States, like my present job. Am I correct in thinking this?
Thanks so much! [IMG]http://www.rehabedge.com/forums/smile.gif[/IMG]
