Jessica’s Answer

If you want to become an occupational therapist, graduate school is required because the profession is entry level at the master’s or doctoral level. The benefits include greater career stability, meaningful work, and long term earning potential, while the drawbacks include tuition costs, academic rigor, and time commitment. It is worth thinking seriously about grad school early so you can plan prerequisites, manage debt, and gain experience to stay competitive.

Angelina’s Answer

To become a registered and licensed Occupational Therapist you need a masters. So you should be seriously thinking about grad school if you want to be an OT because without a masters you have a bachelors that won’t do much for you.

David’s Answer

I think more and more fields are requiring -- if not preferring -- graduate school certifications. Not all fields are created the same, obviously, and as the previous answer notes, some of the medical related professions will definitely require advanced degrees. Anything that requires state board certifications, for example, often require advanced degrees.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
