Which is a better career? Physical Therapist? Occupational Therapist?

I’m very fickle about deciding once and for all on a major and everything. I’m fairly certain that I want to be in the health field, and I’m currently enrolled for Health and Sciences, which is broad and helps prepare for more schooling. I don’t know whether I’d like Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy more. Or even recreational Therapy. I’m just going by a career aptitude test I took a while ago, and all of those are listed.. along with Chiropractor. and others. I know nursing isn’t for me already. Anyone have some advice? I haven’t even been in a health setting really because I’ve never been sick with anything. BAH!

Ok this is a simple answer. I hope that you read this and understand it. I have been two out of the three. I am currently a physical therapist and was before that a recreational therapist. I work with many occupational therapists. Is it at all about how much school you want to do or even about money? To be an OT or a PT it will require you to get a higher education than a bachelors. This is important to understand because despite the fact that they do the same amount of schooling the PT generally makes more money. Job satisfaction depends on what you like. I could see finding job satisfaction in both. I like being a PT and I love the money. If it is about schooling try Recreation therapy because whether or not you get a masters in the program their is a good chance you will be paid the same. You can make up to 25 dollars an hour however $16 is more likely. so PT and OT = more school, but the PT you will like your job I think but will get paid more for it. TR not as much pay but school is a little easier on you. When I was a Rec. therapist I just wanted something more so I went back. If you do the PT route get that physics and chemistry taken care of now!!!!!! Don’t wait like I did. Some of the people I went to school with for PT actually changed their major to chemistry because it helps with entry in to PT school IF you get good grades. That should help. I obviously favor PT but I would do RT before OT

The Christmas List $18.95 Dear Reader, When I was in seventh grade, my English teacher, Mrs. Johnson, gave our class the intriguing (if somewhat macabre) assignment of writing our own obituaries. Oddly, I don’t remember much of what I wrote about my life, but I do remember how I died: in first place on the final lap of the Daytona 500. At the time, I hadn’t considered writing as an occupation, a field with a remarkably low on the job casualty rate. What intrigues me most about Mrs. Johnson’s assignment is the opportunity she gave us to confront our own legacy. How do we want to be remembered? That question has motivated our species since the beginning of time: from building pyramids to putting our names on skyscrapers. As I began to write this book, I had two objectives: First, I wanted to explore what could happen if someone read their obituary before they died and saw, firsthand, what the world really thought of them. Their legacy. Second, I wanted to write a Christmas story of true redemption. One of my family’s holiday traditions is to see a local production of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it (perhaps a dozen), but it still thrills me to see the change that comes over Ebenezer Scrooge as he transforms from a dull, tight fisted miser into a penitent, “giddy as aschoolboy” man with love in his heart. I always leave the show with a smile on my face and a resolve to be a better person. That’s what I wanted to share with you, my dear readers, this Christmas — a holiday tale to warm your season, your homes, and your hearts. Merry Christmas
