What's it like being a physical therapy assistant?

Which is a better job for a 25 year old male? Dental Assistant or Physical Therapy Assistant?

• Which is a better career for a 25 year old male to get into? I've been working as a plumber for the last 6 years and am about to lose my job and am getting tired of plumbing anyway. I need something that doesn't involve years of college. I need to get a job within 6 months and don't need a lot of pay. Which would be a better choice? Dental Assistant or Physical Therapist assistant? I know most dental assistants are female but what about Physical Therapist Assistant? Are many males getting into that?

• Answer:

  i would say the 2nd one, much more interesting in my opinion, you deal with people who have many different problems, don't know if many males get into that, i had a friend who was a physiotherapist, i don't know if thats the same as a physical therapist assistant or more advanced though, plus I'm not really a fan of looking into peoples mouths
