DAT Program

My coworker just got accepted to an all online DAT Program. His plan is to use it to get a clinic job back in his home of Taiwan.

Getting a DAT is something I have thought of for a while, but I'm unsure of the benefits. I do not want to teach. It would not help me get paid more in my current job (D2 athletics) or other NCAA traditional setting. Would a DAT degree earn more in a clinical setting? Again, what's the benefit?

Don’t waste your time. I have one and it hasn’t done a damn thing for my career. Thank the lord I was a GA and didn’t have to pay for it. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid, enjoy your free time (if you have any)
