Astronomy and Physical Therapy As a little child always I always used to look up at the stars. I was fascinated by what’s up there, and could there be life. Also I realized that I liked helping people become better when they were injured, and I have always been a fit person. For these reasons, I have decided to try and head towards one of these two fields: astronomy or physical therapy. Although astronomy and physical therapy are similar in salary, they differ in the type of work and environment. When it comes to astronomy and physical therapy, you might be thinking, “they have nothing in common!” Well, that’s not the case for everything. It just happens that the pay is similar. For both astronomy and physical therapy, the pay averages
In today’s world, people need more assistance, or aid, to better their health. Physical therapy seems to be the ideal career path for someone like myself, who likes hands-on activities. Hopefully after two years, I will be able to call myself a physical therapy assistant (PTA). A PTA plays an important role in the rehabilitation to help a patient, who was injured return back to proper level of physical functioning. The profession of physical therapy will show my drive and dedication to help people in need. Becoming a PTA will show my excellent communication skills and ability to work well with other individuals in hopes of helping people regain their physical function, so they can take on everyday life. This career path has job security,
Actually observing the sky through the campus Steward Observatory telescope brought perspective to just how lucky we are in Tucson to have such amazing resources to study the sky. The location of the telescope is amazing; right in the middle of our historic campus which allows the general public accessibility to something that might otherwise be reserved for astronomers or scientists. Having a 21” telescope to view the night sky expands the field of view that wouldn’t be as wide-ranging with an ordinary telescope. Having looked through telescopes that were probably 4.5” previously, I wasn’t really sure what to expect looking through a scientific version. Clear weather in late November and having a night sky ordinance in Tucson also allows optimum viewing opportunities year round. “Thanks to a local ordinance that strictly limits artificial-light pollution, Tucson supposedly has the darkest night skies of any city its size in the country.” "Seeing Stars in Tucson 's Brilliant Night Sky." The Washington Post. WP Company, n.d. Web. 05 Dec. 2016. “For a city of 500,000, Tucson is an astonishingly good place for stargazing.” I was already aware that the magnification quality of the telescope influences exactly what is visible through the eyepiece. Knowing a telescope’s optical system captures an image like a camera lens. I realized my eyes had to adjust to the dark. At first I had a difficult time seeing things until I
My first Physical therapy observation experience was at TIRR Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center. The therapy done here were for inpatients who went through a brain or spinal cord injury. On my first day I did not know what I was going in for. I only thought that PT was about orthopedic rehabilitation but in reality there is therapy for everything.
“Well, in that case how can I be of your service Agent Carrasco.” He replied in a mocking tone.
Though I always had an intrest in the human body it was not until later that I decided to go to school for Physical Therapy Assistant. For many
Physical Therapist/Occupational Therapist’s careers are on the rise! According to my interest in adaptive technology, and my passion for helping others, a career as a Physical Therapist/Occupational Therapist (PTOT) appears to be a very positive, and a rewarding career choice for me! As a result, as a PTOT I will be working with new adaptive technologies and career advancement, reveling in ultimate job security, and new methodologies, open to growing employment opportunities, experiencing unlimited options, and the rewards of helping others to be healthy, healthy and knowing I had a part in a their recovery is key. However, as I embark on this career path as a PTOT that I have considered all the positive attributes, and the negative
With the job outlook of the physical therapy field being expected to grow by 34 percent by 2024, faster than the average occupation, the average annual wage at a whopping $84,020, paid sick and vacation days and the flexible work environment, this seems like the perfect profession to enter. Having a career in physical therapy can be very rewarding because a physical therapist gets to watch as his or her patients improve every appointment through treatment. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in this profession. There are many disadvantages, and knowing these will help anyone interested in this field have a better understanding of how tough pursuing a career in this field can be. Being a physical therapist can be a rewarding experience and have amazing benefits. However, it is important to be aware of the disadvantages: the extreme amount of education, physical demands, emotional demands and the continuation of education requirements.
There are several grey areas between physical therapy and occupational therapy. While both occupations focus on physical functions of the anatomy, their intentions vary. An occupational therapist’s mission is to improve physical functions so a person can work or participate in daily life. A physical therapist is tasked with diagnosing and treating physical ailments or injuries. The relationship between physical therapists and occupational therapists shows common characteristics, however; they are different in many ways. Some differences and similarities are the amount of required education, salary, licensing, and job duties.
I expect a career that is challenging; one that does not readily give two similar workdays; a career that puts me in continual contact with regular people, who experience a wide-range of feelings and symptoms. I want to go to work every day and know for a fact that every action I perform has the ability to impact someone else, and the better I prepare, the more I care, and the more carefully I listen, the more I can help a patient get better, as I better myself as a clinician. And finally, it is important to me that I retain a level of fascination about my field of work. It is hard to believe that studying a special sense, such as vision; one that has such impact on daily life as to be an independent field in primary care; one that merges systemic conditions with highly isolated and differentiated conditions, could ever fail to be amazing in regards to interesting information. Through my recent experience in shadowing a practicing optometrist, I have successfully confirmed that this is, in fact, the career for me. I know that the opportunities for helping others, and for personal enrichment, are flourishing in the field of optometry, and it is my desire to purse
When considering the physical therapy career field, I concluded that my interests and skills are compatible with the career requirements in this field. My sisters friend whom I chose to interview for this paper, contributed to my interest in physical therapy. By doing this research I would like to learn the average pay for a physical therapist. Also, what are suggested classes for a physical therapist while in college? This research will help me better understand what a physical therapist does and will either help me lean towards or away from a career in this field.
As I have almost completed my sophomore year of college, I know what my career goals are at this point. I am currently on the physical therapy track planning to declare the major of exercise science: applied kinesiology. I became interested in PT after hearing many appealing things about it such as: the rapid growth and demand of physical therapists, the purpose it serves, and financial stability that comes along with the rewarding work. I am eager to learn about the functions, progress, and healing of the human body in the most natural manner, and through exercise science my knowledge in this study will certainly grow.
At the age of ten, I read a book, “Gifted Hands” by Dr. Ben Carson, which inspired and begin to motivate my interest in pursuing medicine as a career because I could identify with his discovery of the joy of reading and his fascination with science. When I was 14, I had an epiphany at the doctor’s office. This event occurred a little after I had finished my final exams in school and the next step was to go to senior high school. But, I thought the preliminary chemistry and physics classes of junior high school were daunting and went on to convince myself that a career in medicine might not be right for me.

Although I am undecided, I have demonstrated an interest in astronomy because I find the mysteriousness of outer space to be absolutely fascinating. Because I have always lived in Los Angeles I have never really had the pleasure of seeing a night sky full of stars, but after a camping trip I finally saw the stars and fell in love them. Although I am fascinated with outer space, I do not think that I would ever want to go to outer space since I am terrified with what may be out there, and how it seems to be never ending. Despite this I would still like to study the stars and everything else that is in outer space since it has the capability to provide insight as to how the human race can survive for millions of more years. Additionally, the possibility of there being another planet where life exists, like in Star Wars, is something that would love to discover.
