How Much I Make as a PHYSICAL THERAPIST (2022) 

Loved this video. Looking to study Physical Therapy as well. Good insight. Subscribed 👌🏾

Love the transparency here!! Thanks for sharing this man!

That debt to income ratio is just painful. So stupid they changed it to a DPT just to pander more money out of students.

Thank you for sharing and being transparent! This is so helpful, both for getting idea of PT salary in another state/location and the breakdown for budgeting - setting aside money for saving and investing. Did you refinance your loans to get the lower interest rate? Or was that the going rate at the time you took out the loans?

So cool to see the "Dr." up there ! Congrats on your hard work and new position man! Keep it up

What a nice break down of how you’re managing your finances. Very helpful and I wish you the best of luck in your first job Dr. Kang!

Great job with the videos bud. They are very insightful. Admittingly, I have a bunch I need to go back and watch. I am a senior in the rehabilitation services program at UTRGV and am working my way through the dpt application process right now.

Congrats! Very insightful and great video Jin! What lead you into choosing the setting/job where you work? And are you deciding to pursue anything sports/athletic training related to your CSCS?

This was incredibly informative! I live right by Rockville so this was cool to see what my future salary could be like

Such a great video! Thank you for being transparent about your journey and congrats on the new job!!! Definitely agree with the investments, you'll never regret investing in yourself. Keep it up🔥🔥

Dr. Kang, I recommend reading Total Money Make Over by Dave Ramsey as it teaches you how to get rid of debt, I don’t know your whole situation, but considering it 10 years is a long time. I think you might be able to do it in less time by reading this book. Just a recommendation. Thank you.

hey DR. J KANG , am from middle east , thanks for your fabulous videos , the same for me am dreaming and seeking for getting the NPTE qualification ! NPTE for foreign students that want to be qualified to practice physical therapy is USA , to be honest our doctors and therapist in our university of our department really encouraged me to study hard for that exam ! especially for therapist in USA , it's very good working there because they keep promoting the good therapist ! I hope that your journey would be easy far from obstacles

Congrats. Happy to help- TJ Sanner

You definitely need to bring that income up by 20-30% by taking some home health or outpatient cases on the side. Then throw all of that money at your debts. You cannot drown in student loans for a decade!

Wow thank you for video. All this made me change my mind. My boyfriend makes more money by installing security system and he didn’t go to school for it.

Even for new grad, 5k seems low. I know new grads that’s make the same AFTER tax in FL

What a handsome young man!

I am sorry but 5k a month after taxes?! That seems very low for someone with a doctoral degree, how much are they taxing you?

I make between 4200-5k a month after taxes and my health insurance through the company as a PTA doing home health. Physical therapist Assistant in Utah. My school was 45k graduated in 2015.

Damn bro. 60k per year as DPT is pretty bottom of the barrel. You should seriously consider looking for a new position if that's still what you're making now at the end of 2023. You're getting robbed out of at least 40k a year. BLS lists average PT salary in the US now at like 98k. Switch to HH my dude. Also, if you're only making 5k per year, don't spend $500 per month on books or discretionary. Books you can get for free on genesis library. Spend it elsewhere or better yet put it away for the future. Seminars and courses likely won't make your employer pay you more, I personally suggest spending as little as possible on this stuff. Pay a $225 medbridge subscription and thats all you need to get your 30 CEU hours done every 2 years ($112/yr).

Isn’t 60k a little low for not a small city? Dpt assuming. I know it’s first year but isn’t 75 doable out of college?

How much ur paid per hour in USA?

Once you get some experience go to home health you can easily make 150k which is over 12k a month if you get those hours in

선생님 안녕하세요! 저는 미국에 온지 얼마 안 된 뉴비 한국인 디피티입니다. 영상 감사히 봤습니다! 힘내세요!!

This has made me rethink my decision to not become a PT. Tech is the answer for me.

Would you say being a PT is worth it ?

Buy Bitcoin and sale I. 5 years. Your debt will be paid. Not financial advise.

is it 5k before or after taxes?
