Full-time work will typically yield a higher income: promising a workweek between 32 to 40 hours on average.
Whereas part-time work falls under 32 hours which on paper has a lower average income; although technique and efficiencies can make up for less hours. When therapists are new to private practice, they often supplement their income by working for agencies or schools, while maintaining a part-time position in their private practices.
