Hey Annalie, I'm Kendall from the other WRA 150 class and i really liked your blog. i found all of your information really interesting and neat to read. Where do you think you'll be working as a Physical Therapist? Also what type of physical therapist do you want to become? I find this profession so intriguing, and i can't wait to read more of your blogs!
ReplyDeleteThis post is a great relief!! I know many of us who are going through college and classes for our major are thinking if this Education will pay off immediately after our schooling is over. I bet it is a great feeling to know that a job shouldn't be too hard to find. I know that there is a great need for Special Education teachers which is comforting to me, but I assume that you are thrilled and less stressed knowing that your major of Physical Therapy which is a more competitive field, has a good job perspective.
