Occupational Therapists Jobs
Linda Said:
Why are there so many jobs for physical therapists and occupational therapists, but not for massage therapists?We Answered:
Unfortunately massage is considered a luxury. Massages are around 100 dollars an hour these days, people just can't afford that. If they went weekly before they are now going monthly. Also, where I live there is a glut of LMT. There are 2 schools.PT and OT are covered by insurance generally. PT work in a lot of different facilites--schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics etc. Where I work we have several women who become pregnant and then come back only part time to be home with their babies, we are constantly increase the numbers on our staff. No one is leaving, we just need more people. Also people are being born earlier (preemie babies need therapy) and people are living longer (more geriatrics needing therapy). I can only speak to PT programs. PT programs cut the number of students they admitted when they went to the DPT. My alma mater when it was a BS program admitted 100 students every year. When it turned into a DPT program, they had 24 for a few years. Then it went up. The most they will have is 40. All of the local schools did this. So the number of recent graduates for the last 5 years, is significantly less. I assume OT went through this in the cross over from the BS to the MOT.
Hope this helps

Do Occupational Therapists Have as Much Job Opportunities as Physical Therapists?We Answered:
It's somewhat difficult to answer...as far as number of jobs available, there are more PT than OT jobs...however, there are not as many OT programs in the country as their are PT programs...therefore, there are less OTs. While there are not as many OT jobs out there, sometimes filling an OT opening is difficult.Over, I would say that the therapist to job ratio is really pretty equal between PT and OT...but this is my speculation based on observation.
If you want to work in an outpatient setting, you will most likely work a mix of day time and evening hours.
