I don’t want to go back and get a pre-physical therapy dagree, but I don”t have the GPA required to get in. What other jobs can I do with my dagree that would allow me to go back to physical therapy later in life?

If you don’t have that GPA now, I’d start working to bring it up because it won’t come up on it’s own. Biology is a good degree for those wishing to move onto graduate school for other health care careers, but in of itself, is difficult to find a job with just the Biology degree.
I’d consider going back and becoming an athletic trainer…some of the prerequisites for PT overlap. If you still don’t get into PT after that, at least you’ve got a job you can fall back on.

Like you stated, you don’t have the GPA to get into physical therapy school. If they require a certain GPA then I doubt that they’ll take work experience as a substitute.
Having a BS in Biology will get you into nursing school (RN) if your GPA is high enough. I’d assume that after being an RN that, that might open some doors but IDK.
