It's not that one career is better than the other, it's a matter of which one satisfies your personal overall career goals and objectives. Which ever you choose, it should be something you have a passion for. In other words, a passion for what you do and the benefit it brings others as well as yourself. Never choose a career solely based on salary. You should also be concerned with job satisfaction.

To become a physical therapist, you would complete a bachelor's degree program at a university. To be a physical therapy tech, you could find a community college or technical school that would provide certification. The university degree is better. I know of 3 types of PT jobs: A physical therapist (PT), a physical therapist assistant (PTA), and a physical therapy technician. To be a PT, you would need to graduate with a bachelor's from a university and then attend physical therapy school which ranges from 2-3 years. A PTA is an associates degree (I believe). Both require you to obtain a license to practice by passing a licensure exam. I am a physical therapy tech, and was trained on the job. There are a few full time physical therapy techs at the clinic I work at, but most of us are college students working part time to get experience before applying to physical therapy school.

Pursuing the Work of a Physical Therapist?
One of the most rewarding healthcare jobs is work as a physical therapist. Physical therapists help people regain normal use of their muscles and limbs. Physical therapists enjoy seeing how their skills benefit patients. The following contains information on the health care job of physical therapist. When a person has a serious illness or other medical condition that limits their movement they seek the help of a physical therapist. It's the responsibility of a physical therapist to evaluate a patient's physical challenges and devise a plan of therapy that will be of benefit. For instance, if a patient has had a long illness that has weakened his legs a physical therapist can guide the person in different leg-strengthening therapies. A physical therapist works with a patient's doctors and nurses to figure out exactly what sort of assistance to offer. There are also physical therapy assistants and other aides who help a physical therapist with patients. Students study in a physical therapist education program. A portion of the study program involves courses in biology, exercise physiology, pathology, and others. The program also includes clinical courses with a focus on the diagnostic process, outcomes assessment, and more. Physical therapists are also licensed. They need to complete an accredited program, pass a national exam, and fulfill state requirements. A prospective physical therapy student should speak with an advisor at a school that offers a physical therapy education to learn about any other requirements. In addition to completing all of the necessary courses and training, a physical therapist must be skilled at working with patients. Not surprisingly, some patients will be reluctant to participate in physical therapy. A physical therapist must have the patience and dedication necessary to cope with patients who are uncooperative. A physical therapist who is personable and respectful with patients will have better success in gently guiding a person into participating in important physical therapy sessions. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the median annual salary for a physical therapist (in May 2008) was $72,790. Salaries of physical therapists vary depending on work environments (hospitals, clinics, private homes) and a therapist's experience.
