Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) or Physical Therapist (PT)?

I am a high school senior. I am considering either a Physical Therapist Assistant program (2 year) or to go to college (4 year+) to be a Physical Therapist. However, I have two problems. The first: I don't want to work for a Physical Therapist who considers me to be "inferior" or patients who think I'm just a "helper" and don't have any real training. Do any PTAs out there feel this way at their job? The second: I know that the job can be physically demanding. How physically demanding is it? This is very important for me to know before I get into this field, as I am a 5'2" 100lb female. I'm strong for my size, but I'm not going to be able to lift large patients by myself. #PTA #hospital-and-health-care #medicine #physical-therapy
