Oh my gosh!! I so needed this tonight!! I’m 46 and finally finished my prerequisites! I’m so freaking excited!! I’m applying in 8 wks!! Single mom to a phenomenal swimmer!! We are a team and she knows I’m not only doing this for her and I but also to help others!! She’s an honor student and wants to help me succeed!! She has watched me up late at night studying so I can pass! Your video was awesome, in that it has given me more confidence to push through and NOT give up, even if we have to live in a one bedroom just to afford school without full time work. Thank you little brother!!

[@eugenetibayan3033]

Hey Antonio I am 5 weeks into a PTA program and just wanted to thank you for the resources you provided on your channel. I appreciate you spreading your knowledge and journey with us all and I hope all who are curious about a program, applying to one, are currently enrolled, or whatever stage you might be in, that you find your footing! Good luck all :)

[@mrskatieoiler]

I got into PTA school a few days ago and start in a month, I have been freaking out over what I'm going to do for work. This video came at the perfect time!!

[@AntonioSanson]

Kate Hickey that’s ironic lol! Hopefully it was helpful

[@kennethsummers07]

I'm about to start my PTA program in a few weeks and I'm excited and extremely nervous. I raise my kid alone and work too which is challenging, but your kids will drive you to do great things when they're not driving you crazy 😂 I appreciate the videos you've made, Thanks!

[@yiselargote2537]

I’m 30 years old single mother and I am going to start my prerequisite in March so I can get into the PTA program. I work a full time job and I am really worried about managing working a full time job, be a mother, go to school and maintain good grades. I’ve been watching your videos for pointers and it’s helps a lot. Thank you for taking the time to do them!

[@AntonioSanson]

That's awesome! good luck through it!

[@caffeineplz]

Thank you for this informative video. I work full time as a server for an assisted living/rehab community. I am soon starting pre-reqs for the PTA program at my local community college as a first time student. I know working full time will be difficult while going to school, but it's something I am going to have to do to pay bills. I am hoping to stay in geriatrics as a PTA since I have worked with the elderly for many years, and am very passionate about working with them. I really appreciate these videos you have shared because they've helped ease my mind a little. Thank you!

Sandra M well my wife and I decided the schooling wasn’t going to work out with busy family life. shortly after we made that decision I revived a promotion at my current job and am making much better money doing the same job. So we are very happy where we are now. currently spending my free time with my two wonderful daughters and my wife and any extra time I spend getting ready for my two ultramarathons This fall. Life is good and we are very blessed in so many ways

[@j.o8707]

Hey Man, appreciate the tips. I’m going back to school applying to start PTA program next year. Super scared cause I have to work to maintain the bills. Going to be working hard to save between now and the start of the program so I can give myself a good find to work off of when I go part time. Appreciate these tips. Super nervous lol

[@rubas13]

Nice videos Toño! I’m 40 yrs old and looking to start PTA program. I have been a tennis and a S&C coach for over 15 yrs and want to change careers. I need to keep working while doing the program because I’m paying my place, car, child spprt bills etc but nothing is impossible.

You can do it Ruben

[@Byrd_Gaming]

I am an army veteran about to graduate with my bachelors in exercise science, my goal is DPT school even with a current 3.93 GPA I feel like I wouldn't make it. Imposter syndrome is real, but to be fair I did not think I would have my first degree much less my 2nd. Been looking through all types of pre PT videos trying to build that motivation up. Iraq easy, school hard.

[@lewisq17]

Bey Antonio love the videos! Super helpful, i have a question, how many times do you have to get your license re-certified ?

[@AntonioSanson]

Living in Michigan I have to renew mine every 2 years!

[@LeahCarynn]

First like, first comment, first view!

[@hectorvloggs137]

What are the prerequisites? And would you recommend a community college program or a private school program?

[@zxaaron7769]

Hi, do you have any recommended APPs about PTA knowledge? cheers!

[@Illigrown]

I have a 45 minute commute to class also, what youtubers/podcasters have good content to help learn while driving? I can’t fathom wasting almost 2 hours a day driving mindlessly

[@AntonioSanson]

EJarbinks if you type in physical therapy in to your podcast app you can get a bunch of different topics, or if you go on to KZbin and search content related to anatomy and how muscles function or how the heart functions or how the brachial plexus works it will help you when you are in the program. Hopefully in the future I can start producing more content as well that will cover interventions in PT or different stuff as well!

[@angelenecook]

Hello, I take care of my 87 year old mother with chronic illnesses. In order for me to accomplish my career, I’ll need to place her temporarily in a home. I don’t like the idea, but I have to think about my life and future. My mom lives with me and I have difficulty focusing and often times I am distracted by taking of my mother. I know once I get her placed it will be better for me period. I hope that I am doing the right thing.

[@jdlangley6864]

Will still be working full time. Did you know anything about the body before the program? I have a bit of knowledge about the human body as a personal trainer on the side. Hoping this will give me any jump ahead?

[@AntonioSanson]

JD Langley I didn’t have any past knowledge that related to physical therapy, It will probably help you having some experience already!

[@qaisshefa4957]

I got accepted into the program a week ago and will start in October. I’m freaking out because my financial aid only covers the tuition and I didn’t get approved for private loans. I have bills and I need cash flow every month I’m not sure how am I gonna manage a job and the program specially now that I know it’s very demanding. :(

[@AntonioSanson]

Qais Shefa yah that sounds like a tough spot, hopefully you can work something out to make it work

[@cortezoverton4427]

Has anyone here taken kinesiology ? I’m debating if I should take it by itself or if I should take it with more classes , any recommendations ?

[@lexaandkenzie49]

I’m in Michigan also, and looking at Bakers program. Since I know that’s the program your in, I’m curious, what was your schedule once in the PTA program? I’ve heard some are Monday - Friday 8-5 and I’m curious how this program is. Thank you! :)

[@AntonioSanson]

The Little Bookworm it’s changed since I went there I used to do 10 week semesters, I currently have a friend who is in the program now and she does 16 week semesters so I think the days she attends is different than what I used to do.

[@cortezoverton4427]

Antonio Sanson can you make a video on what classes to take together and what classes you shouldn’t take together through the pta program ? For instance I’m debating on taking kinesiology with other classes in the program , would you recommend that ?

I don’t think you can negotiate but I’m not sure. Hopefully you don’t have to because that wouldn’t be good.

[@AntonioSanson]

Prabjot Kaur you can probably get a job as a physical therapy technician or aide but you will need a license to be a PTA and a doctorates degree for a PT

Hi so I have a question so I am enroll for PTA I am only taking one course for right now I am taking health care class I want know if you recommend to take online classes ?

[@AntonioSanson]

First see what the college you want to attend to take the PTA Program at would recommend. But as far as taking your prerequisites I don't think its a bad idea to take them online. I took my prerequisites at a community college before I attended the college to take the program at because it was cheaper.

[@rickchavez2768]

[@AntonioSanson]

Rick Chavez depends what you mean by “that much” I don’t know what ur lifestyle entails and how much you spend My first job I started at 18$ an hour

[@rickchavez2768]

Well more than 59. Don’t have a fancy lifestyle I’m not all about money but it’s top of the list. I guess what I mean is , I would have to quit as a teacher so basically Am i dumb for leaving a job that pays me 59 maybe the most I will get by the time I retire is 62. Let’s say money being top of list, would it be smart? Would I be able to make that money up being a pta? Sorry for confusion

[@AntonioSanson]

Rick Chavez I don’t think that it would be too much of a benefit to leave your current job if you are solely basing it on income. Because you are at a decent salary and you would basically be starting over for not that much of a change in pay. Hopefully that helps some.

[@busybee-uy9ph]

Honestly, outside of money will being a PTA make you happy? Because you'll be taking on more debt by going back to school. I think if you do what your passionate, you'll find away to make the most money. But if its all about money and not about being happy or fulfilled. You may have issues later. One of the worst things is going into a job you hate or can't stand. I dont care how much you make

[@adolfoochoa265]

You make seem as if work is not important !!!!!! Work is what pays the bills !!!!!

[@AntonioSanson]

I definitely think work is important, I know a lot of people that have to continue to work to support themselves or their family, the program though often times really encourages you not to work while you are in the program. they stress the importance of getting through the program. I didn't mean to negate or minimize the importance of working. thanks for the feedback!
