I dont think thats right, teachers get wat ~ 40000/year......physio gets about 30ish wen u leave uni. obviously workin in a hospital or sumwere run by gov then ud get less but if i work in a practice or gym u'll get money and yes MORE THAN A TEACHER

Yeah, you CAN earn more if you work in certain places, but if you are paid under the public health system (where most people have to at least start out...) the pay is completely shit.

starting out earning 30-40k isnt shit.....thats a pretty damn good salary straight outta uni plus theres a HUGE demand for not only physio's but other medical related professions
