Do physical and occupational therapists have the potential to make a $100000 salary?

I would like to know because i just got accepted into college. I dont base my career choice on salary alone, i was just curious. Im interested in becoming a PT or OT becasue of the job security, but more importantly, its an emotionally rewarding occupation in which you help people recover from injuries.

Typically a therapist will make anywhere from 60 - 80 as stated by another poster but the pay you make depends on a lot of factors. Number one is where you live!! Some areas in the us are so desperate for therapists that you can write your own ticket. Other factors include amount of experience, type of setting that you work in, amount of hours working.
A PT is now an entry level doctorate degree and therefore PT's start out a bit higher as a new grad. An OT degree is now an entry level Master's degree. Most therapists work a primary full time job and then prn at a few others. The base salary also depends on the benefits offered. Hospital are low paying but you get the best health insurance at the lowest cost and more paid days off, versus a nursing home where the salary is a lot higher but you pay out the nose for health insurance with minimal days off. all in all yes the potential is there but it depends on how hard you work for it!!

Congratulations on your acceptance.
Do they have the potential? Yes. Is it likely? Not really. You can get close and make anywhere from $60,000 - $80,000, however.

According to the US Dept. of Labor, the top 10% of PTs make more than $94,810. Large, private practice and affiliation with major sports teams are where the money's at.

Lauren's figures are pretty accurate.

Your potential to earn greater than $100,000 increases with advanced certifications, board specialties, hard-to-fill and management positions.
