Hi, Jacob !

It's great that you are exploring information about careers. How long other people are at a particular career doesn't seem helpful or relevant for your own experience. It's a great question out of curiosity, but career lengths vary for so many different reasons, I hope you return here to ask questions that will provide you with insight for what you want to do.

Your tags indicate that you would like to pursue a career as a Filmmaker ! That is very exciting and wonderful and has a lot to explore. Your career choice is special. To gain foresight into it, you are welcome to return here to ask questions about film schools or colleges for Film, questions pertaining to screenwriting, directing, talent casting, equipment, the collaborative element and things that will help you start actively engaging in your career interest.

It's an exciting and very satisfying career that takes a process to learn, but if you start actively with learning and experience, things will become clear to you about the path and how to make it happen.

Keep exploring and start exploring deeper and more specific. That will be what will make the career more familiar to you !
Thank you comment icon Thank you for you answer Michelle! I completely understand how you would feel with my question at hand, but I personally feel that knowing how long someone has been in profession can attest to the longevity and success of that career path they have chosen. Thank you for your input though, I appreciate it a lot! Jacob
Thank you comment icon You are very welcome ! Always remember that your path to your career and your work will be unique to you ! I wish you all the best it has to offer ! Michelle M.

Claire’s Answer

Hey Jacob!
I am a Recreational Therapist and I have been in the profession for 6 months! I received my bachelors degree in Recreational Therapy/Therapeutic Recreation and then I got certified after I graduated college! Here's a definition for Recreational Therapy: "Recreational Therapy (RT) is a systematic process that utilizes recreation and other activity-based interventions to address the assessed needs of individuals with illnesses, disabling conditions, and/or adverse circumstances to promote psychological and physical health, recovery, and well-being. Recreational Therapy aims to restore, remediate, or rehabilitate the client’s level of functioning and independence in life activities. Recreational Therapists work in a variety of clinical and community settings and utilize their unique expertise to help individuals overcome barriers to well-being and/or participation in meaningful leisure activities" (https://www.atra-online.com/about-rt). Let me know if you have any questions!
