Our user asked: "Hi, what is a PT's approximate starting salary in Alexandria, LA, and if I spend money wisely, is it enough to take care of a family if I am the only one who works? Thanks"

Ask a PT Response: "According to http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Physical-Therapist-l-Alexandria,-LA.html - http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Physical-Therapist-l-Alexandria,-LA.html , the average salary for a PT in Alexandria, LA is about $74,000. This is going to vary based on experience and PT setting. As far as your question goes about it being enough to take care of your family. It is going to be based on your debt, spending habits, etc. It may be a good idea to sit down with yoru wife or financial advisor and go over expenses, budgeting, etc in order to make a more informed decision."

The approx salary in LA starts from 70K. It depends how you manage. I live in NY and salary here sucks. I am the only one working. Still we do have a great life. Have you financial budget on hand.
