I’m not sure what I should do

I’m a Junior at a university in Maryland, studying Exercise Science. My initial goal was PT, however, I’m no longer sure about that option due to the cost of school and a recent realization that I’m more interested in Cardiopulmonary rehab than orthopedic rehab. My school has a masters program for Cardiopulmonary rehab, however, the CEPs I talk to within the field tell me not to do it(due to salary, feeling stuck in the career). Additionally, I don’t have much interest in working in commercial fitness or strength and conditioning. Does anyone else feel this way? What other options are there?
