Yeah sorry PTA.. I'm going in with an open mind, just not sure what to pick yet

Honestly it comes down to what you want to deal with. There will be variations in terms of what you need to know for the job, but the main difference will be who you deal with.

Going into a basic pt clinic, the majority of your patients are going to be people who have neglected their body for most of their life and want to fix it in a matter of weeks, with absolutely no knowledge about exercise.

Which is why I'm trying to avoid that. Although it's such a great paying job with minimal stress. From what I've heard, nursing is extremely stressful.

If you do go the PTA path, I would recommend getting that and getting a job and then maybe going back to become a DPT. I believe PTA is a 2 year ordeal, correct?

well thats what i make lol
next promotion would be asst stor manager they are 80-90k

then store manager 100-125k

good for you lol.
not a bad gig at all.

depends how you look at it i work at the very least 55 hours per week
and since i work retail i work most holidays except thansgiving and xmas

meh i work anywhere from 50-90 hours a week.
and i probably come close to 60-65k take home in a given calendar year with my current jobs.

and thats canadian lol.

when i land career fire rather than just part time itll be 100kCA after 5 years.
plus id be working another job most likely during the other 6 months of the year i dont work, so id probably make close to 140-150

7 for MD, 11 for specialization i guess

No sorry, I should've been clear. It takes 4 years for an MD or up to 6 in the uk for their equivalent. An MD is a basic medical degree and every single physician has one however an MD does not permit you to practice medicine. It's just standard foundational training. In order to practice you need to complete residency training. Residency spans at minimum 2 years for family practice up to 8 or so years for neurovascular surgery. I just guessed that radiologists train in residency for some intermediate time like 3 years for a total of 7.
