The area in Kinesiology that interests me the most is, Physical Therapy. There are many reasons to why i chose this profession, but my injuries, the support from my family and friends, and the adequate amount of schooling that it takes in order to become a Physical Therapist have to be the main reasons.

So in addition, that would have been a total of 8 to 9 years after i receive my bachelors which would take about 4 to 5 years depending on the classes you can take from being. As a Physical Therapist i not only have to go to DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) school for 3 years, but also a residency is optional as well as a lot of other things that i will see how to manage in the future. So therefore it seems like just the perfect amount of schooling for me to be doing something that i will love, and also to be paid around 84,000 isn’t that bad
