Hi all-
I know the debt to income ratio is always a hot topic on this thread. I'm in my last year of PT school and have had a few job offers from networking and past clinicals. I know PT isn't a highly paid field, but I was a little shocked that the starting salaries were less than 70k (range of offers: 62-68k). The projected growth with experience didn't seem much either. These jobs were also in different parts of the country (Boston, DC, Michigan)..are we starting to see a decline in salary due to declining reimbursements? I'm finding that salaries being offered are 10-15k less than what I see an "entry level PT" should be paid.
