going over this option.

Physical therapist as that is kind of what I want to know in one job.


Id like to know the anatomy and human body movements and ways to massage and treat injuries and how to train to get stronger.


maby physical therapist is what i should do instead of physical training?


It is a much more educated field, i dont know how well that would be for me as I have my HS diploma but I bet my GPA was crap.


thoughts bros?

dunno how it works in the u.s but you can probably do a year of college doing random stuff to raise your gpa and then try for physical therapist

requires bachelors degree, then a doctorate or masters in physical therapy

you don't even know your own gpa...?

jesus man

This, you'll basically be doing a kinesiology degree for your bachelors then onto core studies

i had no purpose in school, dropped out to make actual money. no guidance in my life and I thought that was the best choice. I cared nothing for school because I had no guidance like I said.


I had to go back to get diploma for the marines and that was it.


no clue waht my gpa is.

I'm taking Kinesiology (Exercise Science) for Bachelors atm. About a year left. Then I'll have to apply to get into DPT program.

Physical Therapy deals with a lot of rehabilitation. It's pretty much rehabilitating people(from surgeries/accidents/injuries etc) so they can get back into their daily routine and what not.

GPA will be a huge part trying to get into a DPT program. Even with 3.6 and up, you can't guarantee a spot. It's not impossible, but you'll have to do some major blowies(if you know what i mean).
The school I'm going to at the moment has one of the best DPT programs in CA. I believe they had at least 1000 people apply and only around 40 were taken in.

If you're planning on going for Physical Therapy, you'll need to put a lot of effort into it. Volunteer hours will be needed as well. Letters of recommendations can also boost your chances.

too much work josiah, pick a diff path

effort is not a problem. Im just taking the options and making a decision. I never would have thought of gettin my diploma but the marines wanted it, so i made it happen.

Im all for doing something i believe has a purpose. I might have a family friend in the medical field who can help me also.

That's good. I'd suggest taking a few classes towards it, explore the field, and make sure it's what you want to do. It's really competitive, so good luck.
