<p>Hello guys, Since in high school I was really bad at science (bio,chemistry,physics). They just didn't really interest me and I barely paid any attention to them. But as time goes by I really want to become a Physical Therapist. I want to become someone who can earn a living by helping people. I think i will be so proud if i see someone gets better because of me. But this is all just a dream because I have doubts that I can go through all my studies. The studies are all basically science :/ Is science really an issue for me to quit and take another path? Since I was a kid I was good at handling money and I was quite good at math and english. Should I just go to a path in business(finance)? I like business but business just doesn't seem like a satisfying job in my life. Its just about earning money. Im deciding which major i should apply to in my community college but i cant choose between biology and business(finance). Please give me some advice!! Thanks in advance!!</p>
<p>You may not be good at science, but do you LIKE science and biology? In some majors, you don’t have to be an A student in science classes. If you are a B student in science classes, I’d stick with PT. Also, there’s plenty of tips and books on the internet on how to study for science classes.</p>
<p>That’s a good question. I don’t think any of the sciences will really be of use during your day-to-day routine of being a PT, except maybe an A&P course. That’s what makes your path difficult, especially if you’re going to be a bio major. If you’re not good at science, biology is not something that will end well for you. Likely you would need to take 2 semesters of biology, 2 semesters of chemistry, 2 semesters of organic chemistry, 2 semesters of physics and then some other difficult courses such as biochemistry, genetics, cell and molecular biology, etc. Talk to your guidance counselor. It’s good that you’re starting at a CC to help you figure this out. Good luck.</p>
<p>In order to practice as a PT, you need a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT), which requires the sciences mentioned above, at a minimum. If you really are ‘bad’ at science, then this is not the path for you. You might want to try college-level biology and chemistry classes to see if they will work for you. Also, consider a Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) program, which requires many fewer science courses than a DPT.</p>
<p>Although I wanted to become a PT, I’ve decided this is not my path… I’m just not really into the idea of studying science. Science is just not for me, I’m really terrible at it. Thank you guys for your answers and have a nice day!!</p>
