Am I the only one who picked the 2 year PT assistant program over the 4 year bachelor's and now I'm second guessing

Back in 2022 I had to pick between a 4 year bachelor's in kinesiology and a 2 year PTA program at the community college near me in Dayton. I went with the PTA because it was cheaper and I could work sooner, and honestly the hands on hours in the clinic have been great. But now some of the job listings I see want a bachelor's just to move up, and I'm wondering if I boxed myself in. The 4 year route would've meant about $14k more in loans though, and I'm not sure it pays that back. Anyone been through this and have thoughts on which way actually made sense long term?
