This website provided by Bureau of Labor Statistics has a great deal of strengths that would draw someone that is interested in the medical field to pursue physical therapy. It provides a plentiful amount of information about the occupation that is very useful. It describes the earnings most make, the job outlook, and the training required to obtain this job. When you educate people about a certain occupation then that person knows the ins and outs and what to do as they seek interest. This site also provides photos of current physical therapists on the job. I think this is neat because it gives the person a view of how they would look if they were to choose that occupation. It also provided great tips about the profession. For example, it states that 60% of physical therapists work in hospitals. This gives the person a general site of the atmosphere that they will be around on a daily basis. If I were to create a website to try and steer people into the profession that I have chosen. I would make sure there was a lot of useful information.  I also would provide phone numbers and e-mails so that people would be able to reach me or other current physical therapists that would be able to assist them. I think the most important thing about having a website would be the amount of vital information. The slogan of the website would have to be attractive as well. As soon as the person logs onto the website the slogan and the name of the website should catch their eye and lead them to search deeper within the website for more information. It is also very important to make sure that all the information that is provided on the website be clear and easy to understand. Most people that are looking at the website are not familiar with the profession so you should take that into consideration and try not to elaborate as well as possible. I also would provide detailed photo to show how it looks when a physical therapist is at work.
