Hi everyone... I am interested in taking Degree program in Physiotherapy...any one can tell me the average salary of this career? And also is it a not bad career？Pls enlighten me

If freshman 2k+ it is ok yes i hope i can get employed in better hospitals Just want to know whether this career pathway is bad choice(no job etc) or it is like normal job( i will try to improve as i mayb will go for master and pHD if posible) I am satisfied if it is not very very undemanding career.

Erm..yea..I have very deep interest in physiotherapy I plan to continue the study become a specialist in neurological physiotherapists after few years of working and yes i love to help ppl. The feeling when you see people that came in wheelchair are able to get out by walking with a smile in their face is very satisfying( I don't know how to describe the feeling, though, haha>.<)

Pay is quite important as well To p?ay my education debt/ living cost and all that.



I am still a 18 years old teen... As much as i wanted to join, i am still lack of capability and sometimes disagreement of family But i will try to help as much as possible after i finished my studies and became an adult

Well, for those who were wondering, i left the field about a year ago. To be honest, the salary for fresh grads is really low, like 2k low for a degree holder. Even for renowned hospitals in private sectors, the salary is just , dissapointing. Some senior physios just said to my ex colleague : "if you are not happy with your salary and hours, you can just leave, there are tons of freshy that will take it up".
Career progression,increment, employee benefits is just lackluster. Another issue, SENIORITY. Most seniors will insists on their own ways and would dismiss any new ideas immediately.
Therefore i made a risky decision, i jumped into other industry. However, this is just me, i am just not resilient enough to hold on to this field. Cheers!

yea, various universities keep pouring out huge amount of grads every year, oversuppply is pretty much inevitable.

From my personal experience, it happens pretty much everywhere, however i do feel that it is more common in hospital settings (govt & private). However, there are always helpful and open seniors that are open for ideas to improve on the treatment method.

I made the jump into insurance industry, underwriter to be exact. Healthcare related knowledge did help me alot on this new job, so in some way i am pretty happy that not everything
Is in vain Switching industry is not easy but the pros is that being in clinical settings before does make it easier for me adapt to the new scope
