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

As an occupational therapist in California, are there options for incorporating the outdoors and nature into OT?

I am currently a COTA. I moved from NY to RI to go back to school for my masters in OT. After I finish my masters degree, I plan on relocating to the west coast, hopefully California. I love the outdoors but in the north east the time to be outside is limited by extreme cold or extreme heat....I would like to know if there are specific options for outdoor therapy or if I have to incorporate it my own creative way. #california #occupational-therapy #physical-therapy #therapy #medicine #hospital-and-health-care

Would I be able to only stay in the pediatrics field in occupational therapy because I want to work with children? Does that include encouraging them to get physically fit and healthy again?

I originally wanted to be a pediatrician because I love working with kids and I believe that that's what I want to do with my life. I love helping people especially children. I started college as a biology major but after taking courses in Biology, I realized that Biology isn't for me. Many advisors and student I've spoke to me told me that I don't have to be a bio major to be a pediatrician. So, I started considering other things I was really interested in. After taking the Myer Briggs test, I discovered what I already knew, that I love helping, encouraging, and taking care of people and children. So, I got a lot of occupations in the medical field and the education field. The two occupations I'm leaning towards to now are Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy. i just have to find out more about them first. #doctor #pediatrics #occupational-therapy #occupational-health

I am asking this question because I am looking into occupational therapy and sometimes it is hard for me to stomach/be around some injuries or illnesses. Does this career mainly deal with patients that have mostly recovered? #health #occupational-therapy
