Any Occupational Therapists in the house?

I'm considering a career change from IT project management. Looking for something more people-centric but also more portable to smaller towns. Curious to know about your educational and professional background plus comments on your daily work life. Currently I'm looking at the MSc from U of T.

Do you find it generally rewarding to help people get it together or do you encounter people who don't listen to your advice or generally just prefer to be sick/injured and on the dole?

You won't find too many OT's on this board as the vast # are female, but I'll give you my 2 cents. Went to UBC, moved back to ON after graduating. If you are looking to move to a smaller town in BC after school, you will have many options as there is generally an oversupply in the metro van area, but an undersupply everywhere else. I find the job pretty rewarding, shoot me a pm and I will answer some more Q's

wtf is an occupational therapist

someone you see when your occupation needs therapy?

It is also someone who helps disabled people learn how to do things you or I take for granted.

I always thought therapists were at the bottom of a bottle of jack. Who knew.

Lol, as you can see, the career isn't exactly well-known by most people!

You're thinking of the rapists. 2 different things.

PM replied. On reflection, I cannot think of a much different mindset between jobs than an IT specialist and an OT (possibly compare a mech engineer to an english teacher), which may be a good thing if you aren't liking your work.
