Did the same thing (libraries to physical therapy) at the ripe old age of 32.
In my case, there was no way I could afford to go to get my doctorate in physical therapy. Nor could I afford to re-take all my undergrad sciences (zoology major) which were unacceptable because they were more than 5 years old. Plus I was a single mom.
So I went to community college and got my PT Asst degree.
I used to love the work. Now I'm getting burned out. I'm tired of not being able to do what I'm good at, instead I'm having to shove as many patients thru as I can. The work isn't any easier for the PTs.
Trust me, there is a huge difference between volunteering and working. I would recommend you work as a PT Tech before you go to grad school. (my clinic is hiring)
Now I'm looking at going to grad school so I can go back to libraries as a science librarian. And I'm a lot older than 32 now, and still a single mom.
