    Talk to the school you want to go to and they will give you the outline of the PT program. The salary starts at about $26.00/hour. Do a salary search on a site like hot jobs to get salaries…they are different in all areas of the country. It is a 8 years degree..you need a bachelors in anything and then you apply to the PT program and that is 4 years. So 8 years total. If you are going part time it will take you years to do this. A PTA is only 2 years and they start at about $16.00 to $18.00. Someone with about 12 years experience can make as much as $22.00. Good luck.
