| | Travel Physical Therapist Jobs for All | | | As a Physical Therapist, no doubt you've heard the pitch for taking travel jobs. You'll get more money, you'll get to travel, and you won't get bogged down in any one location for too long.
While these statements are all true, travel physical therapy jobs actually cost you more than the difference in your income.

| | The Other Side of Travel Physical Therapy Jobs | | | While it's true you won't get "bogged down" in any one place for too long, is that really a benefit? If you have a family, or have thought about starting to grown down some roots, this is not really a benefit. Who wants to uproot their family every time a contract expires?
Gross income isn't everything. Have you ever taken the time to consider all that you lose by remaining a contract employee? Here is a quick insight in what a "traditional" employee gets that you do not:
- 50% of income tax, FICA and Social Security paid by the employer
- Paid health insurance
- Unemployment Coverage
- Retirement plan match contributions
- Paid sick time
- Paid personal time
- Continuing Medical Education Stipend.
The average difference between a "traditional" physical therapy job versus a travel physical therapy job is only about 12%-15%. When you consider that just self-employment tax is an additional 15% of your gross income, staying in a travel physical therapy job actually costs more than it benefits you.
