I wanted to go into physical therapy while I was first doing schooling, when I was doing research on it I read that it is among the top 5 most "Happy" jobs. They can go six figures easy too. They REQUIRE a Doctorate nowadays (as of 2014).Keep us updated on hows it going. What are you planning to do with your degree in kinesiology? Does it make you look more versatile? I'm studying accounting but I like lifting weights and fitness so I'm also studying Kinesiology. I don't know what I could really do with that degree besides becoming an athletic trainer or fitness specialist :/.
My mom was a nurse and she passed of breast cancer that metastasized to her bones, brain during college.
I decided I was going to go into nursing "in her honor" or something like that. I realized it was my calling, but I just had one year left for my Kin degree. I finished it up, and after you get a degree it's a golden ticket to get in most programs.
PT and nursing have almost identical pre-requisites: Physiology, microbiology, stats, anatomy etc.
I enrolled in a ELM (Entry level masters - Degree in anything, then go into nursing. You can have a history, english, engineering, degree, don't matter).
Graduated this last year with my bachelors in nursing, passed the NCLEX this last week (Officially an RN).
Now, I'm deciding whether I want to pursue my masters, work, attempt both masters and work, move home and work. (got 50k debt ZZzz)
