also i was wondering what the difference in salaries are?

im still deciding whether if i want to do sports med (which you have to get MD for) or sports physical therapy (go through PT school). i originally planned on going through PT school but changed my mind when i learned about sports medicine.

im a sophomore in college and am behind in my sciences by a year because i did not double up in chem and bio my freso if i wanted to go to med school, i would have to spend an extra semester, maybe two to be ready for med school (also prepare for MCAT's, med school would be 4-5 years) whereas i would finish school on time for PT school (GRE and 3 years of school). im not sure which i should do consdiering im a bit behind in my prereqs

what do you guys think?? any input would be appreciated.

Thank you!
i currently have a 3.6 GPA, and will be working at a physical therapy firm during the summer.
