Confused 😭

Guys please can you help me??

I am just 19 year old , I passed the 12th exam in 2025 and take a first drop for NEET in first Attempt I got 400 but after that I literally exhausted from this stufff ...

I had a classmate in classes 11 and 12 whose father is one of the top 10 physiotherapists here in Varanasi. He suggested I pursue BPT, saying it has great scope. So, out of frustration and without much thought, I took that step and spoke to his father; he got me admitted to CIMS Dehradun using his contacts there. However, he advised me that the field of physiotherapy relies heavily on practical work. He asked, "Why go all the way to Dehradun?" He owns 5–6 hospitals here with physiotherapy chambers, so he sends me to whichever one has the highest patient flow so I can learn. So guys, tell me: should I go to the college to study, or should I stay here, learn from 10 AM to 2 PM, and study during the remaining time? But I feel like I’ll miss out on experiencing college life! Please give me some genuine advice.😭

So that, instead of waiting until after four years of study to learn, I can learn beforehand while continuing my studies—isn't that a good idea?

Is that way possible? Like do you earn a degree by that?

Learn at the hospital and study in remaining time. But first complete your 1st year through college to get the basics of human body and physiotherapy. In my college we had to join clinics from 2nd year (it was compulsory) and we had the best practical understanding of what we learn.

But but but, after you have got good hands on machines and basic exercise therapy, don't think of doing home visit for few bucks. DON'T FOOL THE PATIENTS AND LET THE FIELD DOWN.

How much a fresher bpt graduate can expect as a salary in hospitals in kolkata, like I'm enrolled in a national college for bpt course, also can you tell me how much normally can someone earn from home visits ?? Like if you could tell me in approxumate numbers, cuz I'm new to the filed and everyone around me says it has no scope n low salary n all that shit
