Jeanne Said:

Why does it cost so much to get a dpt (doctor of physical therapy) degree and then pay so little salary?

We Answered:

This is most likely the cost of private education. Yet, even so, your son will make a good, comfortable living. After a few years of experience, his salary will rise. If he really wants to earn top dollar, working for a staffing agency will help him quickly repay his loans and he'd be making much more than average PT (which was about $50-70,000 in 2005). Although it's not a great setting for new grads, he might want to consider it...especially if he can get a placement where he'd be stable for a while.

All things considered, for 7 years of education and three of those as post-graduate education...it's kind of a bargain. My good friend just finished med school to a tune of $250,000 in loans...she'll be just making ends meet for the next 7 years as she completes her residency and fellowship. She won't be making any real money until she is about 47 years old.
