Hello I am looking for some insight or advice. I am a 3rd year PT student and I am having major doubts that this is the right career for me. Having done some placements it appears that the role is quite limited in a hospital ward setting mainly involving mobility assessments, stair assessments etc. for safe discharge, across most specialisms such as general medical, surgical, T and O, care of elderly etc. How many years does it take to progress beyond this and take on more interesting, specialised work? What other opportunities are there? It also seems that there is endless study and work in the professional to maintain CPD and keep skills and knowledge up to date which implies it is not just 9-5 job? Is this correct? I have struggled so much to keep up with the amount of study and work on the course and I am concerned this will never end even after graduating? Also my main goal is to work in NZ or Australia, and was wondering how difficult this is for a new graduate? Any advise would be much appreciated. Thank you
