Both are good professions.
Some places pay more for P.T. than for RN.
P.T. jobs are in great demand.
Check out the pay for both positions in areas you think you will be living.
Check out variety of positions/number of positions available in area you
think you will be living in the future.
Overall, I think P. T. would be less stressful and better working conditions.
That is my opinion.
well the university i attend has moved to strictly a DPT program (doctorate of physical therapy), but i think it's a good idea. it eliminates the need for referrals and removes the PT from under the umbrella of a physician, and makes you more competitive in the job market. so i'm well aware that if i switch my major to PT, i can expect a much more rigorous curriculum.
