Should I try to become a physical therapist?

I’m 20 years old and I’m about to graduate my local community college with an associates degree in liberal arts. I plan on transferring to a university and would like to pursue a career in physical therapy. Other than the basic Biology 101, Chemistry 101, and statistics classes I took in college (I got A’s in all three), I don’t really have much of a science or math background. Would physical therapy be a path worth trying? I know it will take hard work but there’s not really any other career that I can think of that I would enjoy doing. I would like to become a physical therapist and specialize in sports injuries. I love sports and have played them for all my life and figured that becoming a physical therapist would be a great career for me to stay around them. Is physical therapy a career that would be worth the risk considering I don’t have much of a science and math background?

If you got an A in those classes you should do fine. You need 1 year of bio, gen chem, gen physics, and anatomy and phy all with labs. You also need math and psy. You may want to try and get a degree in ATC while getting the pre reqs you do not have. Then apply to grad school for PT.
