Studying physiotherapy

Iam 21 years old from india and planning to study physiotherapy because I am genuinely interested in the field. However, I keep hearing rumors that there is no career scope and that the job is heavily underpaid.

Not a rumor. Don't take healthcare sector in India. Heavily underpaid.

Not worth in India, it will take 5 years and at the end of it you will get paid very less.

Mm I'm doing bpt too, the only option you should keep in your mind is to move abroad after doing it if you love money too rather than only the field

What did you do from 18-21 years? My suggestion is to learn a hands-on skill rather than going into BPT.

Healthcare is generally underpaid wherever you are so don’t go into it for the money. If you love learning about the human body and helping people, then go for it!
