Occupational Therapy Do

Grace Said:

occupational therapy?

OT is a good field to go into - especially if you want flexibility in a career. A Master's degree is required, so be willing to devote 5 years of college work to get the degree. I am an OT and I work at a rehab hospital on the days they need coverage (typically the rehab director lets me know the days they need coverage and if I can do it, I do, if not, then no big deal). I make $45/hour there. I also do 15 - 20 visits at the home health agency I work for. I get $65 a treatment and $75 for an evalulation. My visits typically last 45 minutes, plus I get 50 cent a mile. I set my schedule - so if I want to work 3 days, I schedule 5 - 6 patients a day and if I want short days, I schedule 5 half days. If you want more info about the field or what schools offer OT, go to www.aota.org
Good luck!
