A good major and minor for physical therapy?We Answered:
You need to make sure you get a great gpa. Minors are not required. If you are intersted in peds, you may want to take some intro to spec ed, or child development courses. I am generally not a fan of bio majors but since you already need a 4 semesters of bio for gen bio and A and P. You may want to take an advanced anatomy with cadaver disection, neural science, exercise physiology, I might consider it.Peggy Said:

Which Physical Therapy setting is most lucrative? Would it be to specialize in geriatrics? Pediatric? Nueral?We Answered:
It really depends on where you live and what type of patient population you are trying to serve. Obviously, the more in demand the position, the more financially rewarding it tends to be. In my area, the nursing home and home health settings tend to pay the most (except for agency jobs, but I'll talk about that more later). In these settings, you will often work with patients who are elderly.If you really want to make yourself marketable, find something you like to do, not just with a specific patient population, but a special technique that is hard to come by and requires speciality training or certification beyond your entry level education. This could include women's health/pelvic floor/incontinence training, lymphedema management, vestibular rehabiliation, manual therapy certifications, etc. These advanced certifications are often things clinics are looking when trying to fill a "niche" position.
The final thing to consider is an agency job. This usually means you are contracted out to different facilities. You might be at one job site one day and another the next. It is not the ideal setting for new graduates since you cannot develop a mentored relationship with anyone. It also requires you to be very flexibile. In as such, agency PTs tend to be very well paid.
Sports physical therapy and pediatrics often do not pay as well as one might hope...mostly because these are the "popular" settings...everyone seems to what one.
