<p>Wow. I've seen demand for PTs go up and down. At one place, 40% dismissed at once. Also, PTs use to get paid overtime or 1 1/2 for weekend/evening work, but that has been eliminated too. On the other hand, pharmacists I know earn $100000, compared to $40-45,000. Nothing against PT/OT, but many people I know take courses to move into administration when they get older, as the work is physically demanding. I know this post sounds discouraging, but I think there are better opitions in the health field.</p>
