I want to be a physical therapist / or PT istant. What are the best colleges in Arizona?

My pion is fashion. I attended the AI of phx to eventually obtain a degree in fashion marketing. My goal was cut a few credits short when suddenly my father had a stroke it was a horrible thing to had happened to him at such the young age of 54, to make matters worse his health insurance ultimately denied any further physical/occupational therapy because they thought he was at a plateau. I stood by him when he was going to his outside physical therapy (more as support) but it was a chance to learn a lot about what they do. I immediately stepped in when his PT was denied. I quit school to take over the continuous therapy my dad greatly needed, I didn't see this as a burden in anyway and would do it for anyone in my family. With all the hard work, speed bumps and strong mentality my dad has, the physical therapy we did together began to pay off (more so than it was with the outside therapy). He has defied odds that were put against him and surped any predictions of "never getting better" that he was previously given many times. In this was another blessing... I found a new pion. Seeing as though the economy isn't in great need of someone with a fashion marketing degree (which I can always go back to) I am interested in becoming a Physical therapist istant/ Physical therapist. There seams to be a much higher calling for physical therapist's in this struggeling economy. What is the salary in Arizona? ... And what are the best colleges in Az (with exceptional ratings)?, In that I would want a school that offers career placement... need your help, thanks all !
