How can I make the most money after graduating from school? Rehab clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, traveling PTA? I've been broke for so long, it would be nice to have some money in the bank at a new job.(not to mention paying off student loans...yikes!)

I believe homehealth and travelling are the best ways to make the most money followed by SNF, then hospitals, and finally outpatient clinics which make you the least amount of money. I'm planning to work as hard as I can after graduation to pay off my student loans.

good luck

you should decide what's best for you. Read about each and ask more specific questions to guide you to what best fits you.

Traveling is the way to go. I have worked the hospital/outpatient side of the business (not as a therapist but in management) and I am now a traveling recruiter. The money travelers make does not compare, you just have to be willing to travel of course : ) Feel free to contact me though for more insight if you want.
