Our user asked: " I am a student at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, I have to do A career research project and i was wondering if you could help by just answering a few questions as like an interview type of thing if you have the time all i would need are the responses, and your name and title so that i would be able to cite you in my paper. i would just need the responses by 08 nov14 if possible. questions are super easy i already got a lot of the info from this site and a few scholarly articles: 1.) what sort of degrees, credentials, licenses, and continued education training are need to become a physical therapist and maintain being one? 2.) can you expand about the future employment projections when it comes to jobs and earnings vs the current employment projections when it comes to jobs and earnings? 3.) what is the lifestyle impact when it comes to being a physical therapist? (hours, work location, patient type, etc.) thank you in advance."

Ask a PT Response: "I'd be happy to help you out. Please see below for answers to your questions:
1.) what sort of degrees, credentials, licenses, and continued education training are need to become a physical therapist and maintain being one? You need to obtain a bachelor's degree - preferrably a science related degree ie. kinesiology in order to apply to PT school. PT programs are now doctorate programs. Once you have your PT license, you will need to take have 32 credits of con ed in order to renew your license every two years. 

 2.) can you expand about the future employment projections when it comes to jobs and earnings vs the current employment projections when it comes to jobs and earnings?  see links

3.) what is the lifestyle impact when it comes to being a physical therapist? (hours, work location, patient type, etc.). Being a PT is pretty flexible depending on what you are looking for. Working part time or full time. It's all going to depend on your preferences. ie. I work part time in an outpatient clinic owned by a hospital in a gym and part time in my own clinic

I hope this helps."
