Case’s Answer
Now is a great time to be a physical therapist with lots of opportunity for new graduates. Network and shadow so that you have a clear idea of your goals. Ask mentors to help you map out the best jobs and pathway to achieve your goals. Do your research on average salaries for different PT specialties and industries, which can vary widely based on the needs of your area. Contact and get involved in your state physical therapy organization. They often have student SIGs and mentorship programs to set you up with the right connections and information for success and satisfaction.
Search APTA-CA and contact them for information and networking.
