I’m sure you can volunteer at a clinique of some sort as you won’t be paid (free labour is always welcome in many places). Being a physical therapist is not “trial by error”… Don’t expect to “practice”…

As for (paid) “jobs available” — same as for any other 19-year-old, McDonald’s, KFC and Taco Bell etc…

You can look into becoming a physical therapy technician/aide. This is a position that does not require any formal training. Job tasks range from clerical work and light housekeeping to assisting a therapist with treatment.

…You cannot be an assistant though…that requires at least an associate’s degree.
