If you went through all that schooling, time, and expense, I would assume you would want to be a physical therapist. However, with a doctorate you can choose to teach at a college or university in the area you were trained in.
A lot of school, love of helping others, and hard work. I'm currently in college majoring in Exercise Science. I'll need a Master's/ Doctoral Degree to become a Physical Therapist.

No. Pre PT does not equal PT.
This would be strictly dependent on which type of therapist you are referring to for there are many types. There are psychotherapist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist etc.
