Hi, I am an OT and would highly recommend it! I am a pediatric OT and have spend most of my 26 years as a therapist working in early intervention. There are so many opportunities for OT's in so many different settings. You can find OT's in schools, hospitals in several departments, mental health clinics, rehab clinics, early intervention and even some optometrists hire OT's!

I would suggest calling the OT department at facilities near you and asking if you can shadow a therapist for a day. Let them know that you are considereing a career change and want to learn more about OT.
Be sure to check out OT's in a variety of settings to get a full idea of all the things the profession can offer.
