Is being a physical therapist assistant a good choice? How do I know if being a PTA is right for me?

Is being a physical therapist assistant a good choice? I am interested in being a physical therapist assistant because I want to help people but I also want to have a good high salary. I have considered becoming a physical therapist because the pay is higher but I would rather be hands on with patients guiding them through their treatment. The average pay for physical therapist assistants in Oklahoma is not that low but I would prefer higher. Also, follow up question…how do I know if being a PTA is right for me? Is there a way to get experience in the field or volunteer so I know exactly what the job entails and if I want to become one?
