Go for the PTA program. I was just like you about a year ago. Putting in my head that I wasn't good enough for the program. I let the fact that the program was competitive intimidate me but I decided to give it a shot anyways and guess what...I got in. Yes the program will be tough but not impossible. I learned to see it as a good challenge. We all need some challenge in life. That's what builds us. Trust me. Go for it! Your classmates will be great support through the whole ride. Just be dedicated to your studies. No there is no real science involved. Only anatomy and physiology (which is everything as a PTA) and maybe some very basic physics of newton's laws which are cake. You can do it. Ill be starting my second year this august. Yes Im nervous but I know I can do it. Tell yourself that and youll be surprised at yourself at how well you do. You will enjoy the experience.

When things are easy, everyone does them. Then there's lots of competition for the jobs, lots of people to replace you so employers don't have to pay you very much. You have to put some effort in to get the payoff later. But by "payoff", I mean a job that you'll enjoy doing and feel happy in, not the biggest paycheck. Remember that you'll be spending most of your waking hours doing your job- if it's not something you enjoy, that can really make your life a misery.
