I think if you really want to become an OT, you should continue to pursue it. Even if you receive a rejection letter, do not let it stop you from achieving your dreams!

It is also gratifying to be able to coach and mentor patients so that their behaviors can change for healthier outcomes in the future. As far as advice goes, I would highly recommend you look into my Online course I created (it’s pinned in the comments). It teaches you everything you need to know to get accepted into PT school. I created it for students like yourself who are lost with the process and need proper guidance so that you don’t waste time and money trying to figure things out.

I was looking for colleges and most don’t have physical education program, is kinesiology a good substitute so I can earn a physical education teacher job?

[@drjustinleedpt]

Yes !! Absolutely! You can earn a kinesiology degree and then get the needed credentials and certifications for a PT teacher

[@hannahstokes4856]

Hey I’m looking to become a pediatric PT or a Pediatric OT !!! What bachelor degree do you recommend ? What bachelor degree would get that would land me a good job ?

[@drjustinleedpt]

Technically you can choose any major, but I would recommend either kinesiology or psychology

[@DVSPAZZ]

man i wanna be a PT so bad ... but i joined the military 😔 can't wait to get out to finally get after it tho

[@GorillaSkee]

Hey i know it’s a little late to comment i hope you see this but the muscle physiology salary does it grow over time or does it stay at 49k that one really intrigued me

[@drjustinleedpt]

Typically salaries will increase annually, but it depends on a lot of factors (location, what certifications you have, continuing education, private vs public company, etc)

Is this in the USA?

But there’s a big difference between Kinesiology and Exercise and Physiology. They are not the same.

@liftforchange Hi, I would like to know if I follow a bachelor of sport and exercise science degree what are the possibilities to work in a clinical and lab environment?

[@kristen5199]

I am planning on becoming an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab, especially in the hospital setting. Do you think it would be good to get a master's in clinical exercise physiology or just the bachelors in order to take the ACSM CEP? (if you happen to know since you said this was an area you were considering). Thank you!

[@drjustinleedpt]

I thank you best bet would be to call your local exercise physiologist clinic and ask them what they would require of you if you wanted a job. That would give you good guidance

[@yawns2170]

Most of the time you will need a masters. This is the situation I’m in now. I got certified last February and haven’t been able to find a position or even land an interview since. I have my bachelors in Kines/exercise phys and ACSM certified EXC PHYS with 2 years of clinical experience, and 2 years of upper management experience. Employers are wanting candidates with a masters degree as well as a large list of other skills and qualifications. Hope this helps, and all the best to you

[@kristen5199]

@@yawns2170 thank you this is super helpful! I applied to an accelerated masters program in clinical ex phys so hopefully I’ll get in 🤞. Did you take the clinical ex phys exam or the non clinical acsm exam?

Any opinions on athletic training?

I did a video comparing ATC and PT. I would go check it out! But quick answer….. I would choose PT over ATC

I completed my 12th ,now I want to become a teacher or professor in Canada🇨🇦 , which UG course you suggest me to do ,🙏 .

[@DS-pj3hu]

I'm currently in the process of getting my personal training certification. I have a huge passion for fitness and helping people, but I'm worried about making sales and getting clients. Is it necessary to be an extravert in this career?

[@drjustinleedpt]

Definitely NOT necessary. As long as you can CONNECT with people on a deep level and display leadership to show others that you have the answer to their fitness problem. DO IT!!!

[@parveendhawan129]

Bachelor of science in Biology vs Bachelor of kinesiology? Which one is better in canada for more income and good salary...Anyone please guide me ....

[@jannyoh]

I’m a political science major but I’m doing stem classes on the side for PT school or personal trainer in the future. Is this common??

[@drjustinleedpt]

I’ve definitely seen students do this. For example a student was a Spanish major but took additional science courses to fulfill the prerequisites for pt school. If you want to be a personal trainer, you just need to take a certification which you can find online (get the book and self study. Then take the test). You can absolutely make this happen!

[@jannyoh]

@@drjustinleedpt thanks so much!

[@Alpha_pete]

Got my kinesiology degree is it possible to intern before I do my doctorates?

[@drjustinleedpt]

You definitely should work as an PT aide or volunteer before you do your doctorate

Assistance fiscal therapy. Helping

[@rileygaceta1787]

Not sure if you’re still answering people questions, but i just applied for a bachelors in human kinetics - emphasis in recreation and sport management. With this do you know if i’d still be able to become a registered kinesiologist or a personal trainer?

Anyone know if there is a difference between a masters in kinesiology of arts and a master of science in kinesiology

[@gazalkaur544]

Hi I am also pursuing a kinesiology major and wanted to know if I can get a job for like a Kinesiologists after my bachelors .I want to work for a bit and then pursue DPT

[@drjustinleedpt]

You can definitely get a job with anything related to kinesiology. I think it would be wise to work for a little bit before getting into PT school because it will teach you real life skills that you can refer back to when you’re in grad school. This will help deep in your understanding of the material

Hello, I’m from Nigeria I already got my bachelors degree in physical therapy and I’m trying to go for my masters degree in the US but I’m at an impasse on what masters degree to go for I interested in working as a sport Physiotherapist Which MSc. Should I go for? MSc kinesiology, exercise physiology, exercise science or this are all the same thing?

[@drjustinleedpt]

If you want to work specifically as a PT in USA,m you HAVE TO get a doctorate, not a masters. However, if you want to work with sports in different ways (not PT), any of those 3 majors are great!

[@suatonicyt5512]

What about Sport Medicine Physician?

[@rambodshahreza9925]

Hey! What are you thoughts of masters in sport's therapy (not the regular physiotherapist you hear of). Just a second opinion from you would help! Thanks :)

[@drjustinleedpt]

I think if you want to get into sports rehab, you should go the doctorate route. It will be much easier to get a job

Could I become a pta with just a kinesiology degree
