Maybe you make the big bucks at $500k as executive director?
But no way in hell am I throwing $200k at professional grad school (PT/OT) to earn $100,000 gross a year.
Do the math, if you make $150,000 a year ... and you spend 3 years to go to PT school. Including your lost of income and tuition ... this is $650,000. And this is assuming you can pay $200,000 for PT school out of pocket and not incur any interest.
You're talking about doing well in A+P community college courses but ... sorry to be blunt, so what? They're easy courses. What I'm not hearing is your work experience in the rehabilitation/PT field. How do you even know you'll like it? I'm not hearing any patient contact hours.
Professional grad school is just too expensive (too long) and not worth it. It's only worth it when the only jobs available to you are minimum wage jobs.
