How old do you have to be to become a physical therapy aide because i read that you only need a high school diploma or a ged to become one?

Everything you do comes with education. A lot of career paths mention only needing a GED or high school diploma! However, they also require a great deal of experience. You can't get that experience without the proper education!

There is college, university, trade school, and even advanced certification that you would need in the field. If you're thinking about shying away from a college or university then I advise looking into the certifications you would need in relation to that field. It allows you to gain more work oppourtunities so that you could get that hand on experience!

Also, certification programs are usually short programs that don't last longer than a few months. I hope this helps!
