What are some of the biggest challenges of being a physical therapy assistant?

The limitation is the title itself. As an assistant you’re limited to PTA duties. There are three PTA levels. I’ve been a PTA Level 2 for years, but I’m still at the bottom of the food chain as far as PT field goes. But if you like what you do, that’s not a problem. A PTA Level 2 has to have certain hours of education, you have to have a student. Eventually I would like to do research and run a lab. There’s no stress for PTAs. Right now I’m doing a bunch of paperwork, but I don’t have to. I’m just doing it to help out the PTs. A good PT will anticipate what the PT wants, you have to be a couple steps ahead of the clinic.
