what other type of careers could I think about if I've been thinking about physical therapy?

Physical therapy is my first option when it comes to a career I would enjoy. I haven't really thought about other careers. If physical therapy interests me, I would like to know other careers that are similar to that that you might have thought of and that would most likely interest me as well.

Is the process of going to college, med school, residency, etc., worth it, or is a safer career option a better decision financially?
