How can I pay for classes without financial aid, and without taking out a student loan?

I was denied financial aid, and I do not want to take out a student loan until I am accepted into a program. I am aspiring to become an occupational therapy assistant. I need money to finish my last prerequisite classes until I apply. I cannot afford to pay for the classes with all of my bills. I don't know what to do so I am looking for scholarships. #occupational-therapy , #discouraged,

What 4-year degree is recommended that will not only assist me in the PT master's program but will allow me to be employable in case entry into the Master's Program is delayed.

I am currently a senior in high school. I will graduate on June 11th. I'm torn between two college majors. One course of study is Physcial Therapy. One of my biggest concerns with the PT route is the 4 year degree leading up to the PT Master's Program. I have attended multiple college tours. At each PT session the speaker noted that getting into the PT program is like "fitting through the eye of a needle." I'm up for the challenge but will admit I have concerns about being financial stable while I attempt to "fit through the eye". Suggestions anyone?? #physical-therapist #occupational-therapy

Should I minor in something business related if I am considering trying to start my own occupational therapy practice?

I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in psychology and am on the path to becoming an occupational therapist. I would like to apply for OT masters programs after I obtain my bachelors degree. However, because I am possibly considering the idea of trying to start my own OT practice, I want to know if I should minor in a degree that is business related while still in undergrad. If I should, what would be the best minor/pathway to pursue and how else could I utilize it in occupational therapy? I have had an interest in learning more about business anyhow, but I do not want to minor in something that might not apply to what I do later. #occupational-therapy #
