Physical Therapist
My sophomore year while playing in a football game, I tackled a player from the other team right before half-time. While I was making the tackle, I felt a pop in my knee. It wasn’t very painful because of the adrenaline in my system at the time but the next day the pain came. It felt like there was a rubber band getting caught on my knee and coming off almost every step I took.

The highest paying places to work as a physical therapist is for schools and home care. In this area the average is around $70000 a year.

Some expenses of becoming a physical therapist are getting certification which will cost a small amount of money. Getting a building will cost a lot of money and then I will need equipment. The easiest way to avoid those things is by getting hired at an already established place. A benefit of being a physical therapist is knowing how the human body works in the skeletal system, so recovering from injuries will be easier, keeping in physical shape is easier with access to equipment. Knowing what to eat or drink to help your body recover and become stronger. As a physical therapist there are some health risks. One particular risk is back injuries. PTs and PTAs can injure their back moving and helping their patients. Another risk is physical assault from patients, for example patients recovering from severe head injuries might be violent. Benefits vary from business to business but usually you have good job security because there will always be people who get hurt, and need rehabilitation. Most physical therapists love their jobs. There is a good chance that you will eventually own your own business as a physical therapist, around 21.6% are owners or partners in their practice. I can almost always choose where you are going to work because there is a demand for physical therapists all around the country. I will be an expert in the movement of the human body so I will be able to keep my joints in good
