Did everyone miss what I said? To sit for the Physical Therapist Assistant licensing exam you need to have graduated from an accredited AS PTA program. It's an associates degree. You don't need a bachelor's. Someone with just any old bachelor's can't sit for that exam. Now that's exclusion that I can get behind. And if you don't think that a PTA degree is worth much, then you need to do a little more research. It's a clinical associates, not just liberal arts or whatever. It's probably more demanding than any other associate's out there. And as for as being more well rounded, how are all those extra gen ed credits going to help you in PT or fitness? They're not. They're just more money for the school. Okay, I suppose if you start your own business then some business classes might come in handy. But don't we all know plenty of people who have their own successful businesses who've never even been to college?
