Do you like daily challenges? Do you enjoy helping people get better? Then a physical therapist is the job for you. Being a physical therapist is very rewarding. According to APTA spokesmen, Meredith Hayes, a physical therapist located in Detroit, “You will find excitement while working with patients one-on-one, and seeing them progress through their treatment. But the real joy of it all is you know you are making these people's lives better.” The job outlook of a physical therapist is strongly in your favor. The demand for this job is expected to increase by 30% by 2018.

“What does it take to become a physical therapist?” someone might ask. Most programs require you to have a bachelor's degree before applying for the doctor of Physical Therapy Program, or DPT. Although the 3 years of DPT may be considered lengthy to some, it’ll be worth it in the end. Physical Therapist makes an average of $80,000 a year. If helping people is your passion, then physical therapy is the career for you.
