Physiotherapy:

Pros:

Growing field with plenty of future job opportunities

Salary. $50,000 to $75,000 per year or more.

High level of satisfaction on the job.

can work in hospitals, private practices, rehabilitation centers, sub-acute care facilities, schools, sports centers, wellness centers and more.

Cons:

Length of time in school. While getting a degree to be a physical therapist won’t take you as long as it would to be a doctor, you can still expect to spend three years getting your requirements to be a physical therapist. That is on top of a four-year degree. This is a total of seven years. If you decide at some point that physical therapy isn’t for you, you risk wasting years of school and accumulating student debt. If you want to change careers later on, you will have to go back to school for something else.

The job is demanding. Make no mistake, the work that a physical therapist does is demanding. You will have to take good care of yourself to keep up with it, as the job does pose some physical demands.

Good quality subspecialty fellowships are pretty hard to get and highly competitive. In India it is very difficult.

It is pretty hard to establish a subspecialty practice in India as the common public do not recognize the subtleties of this field and its various forms of expertise
