Best Answer:
You will need to receive your Bachelor's Degree in a related field (kinesiology, biology, exercise physiology, athletic training) and then go to graduate school. You will earn a Master's or Doctorate Degree and take the National Physical Therapist Examination. Once you pass, you will have your license and be able to practice as a PT. Good luck. Salary ranges depending on the field you will practice in and the area in which you live. Try looking at http://www.salary.com to see the average salary in your area. PTs are in high demand right now and a lot of new grads are receiving "sign-on bonuses" greater than $1,000.
