However, I do see some compensation for meals, for road trips that they have to go on \u2026 I don\u2019t agree with that; then it\u2019s talking about a more professional level. For college students to receive a salary\u2013I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a good choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Kevin-Vest-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"360\" align=\"Left\" \/>Kevin Vest<br \/>\nPhysical Therapy Assistant Major<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic.
