Careers in healthcare will always be in demand. How much PT supply is solely up to each clinician. Within standard business hours, physical therapists can work any day of the week, as much or as little as they want.
There will be moments in life that require more time. As a PT, it’s nice to know that when your children are born, one can create a schedule that optimizes the ability to see them grow up. It’s comforting to know that if my aging parents need more assistance in the future, a work situation can be developed to allow for my presence.
There will be moments in life that require more money. If you have not been there already, you will be. The unexpected home renovation due to an issue, a car that was totaled, a medical bill that is not well covered by insurance, etc. There will be emergencies that only money can fix. As a PT, you can work any and every day of the year. The opportunity to make extra money is always at your fingertips. Thus, financial peace is attainable through this profession.
Home health is the best situation for PTs to accept as much work as wanted and own their schedule. Interestingly, it is also the sector that pays the most for work. It is truly the best of both worlds and has been one of the greatest opportunities this profession offers.
