Today I learned…
Today I learned that occupational therapy offers a higher salary in other
parts of the country than it does in Omaha, Nebraska. The median salary for our
city is $51,550 while the national median salary is $75,400. I also learned
that there are very few schools nationwide that offer an occupational therapy
program for a doctoral level degree. The salary for this profession was lower
than I thought it would be, mostly because of the stereotype that doctors get
paid so much. It was also nice to learn that the average occupational therapist
works 40 hours a week. There is usually no on call time for occupational
therapists and they generally only work week days. The growth rate of the field
is much higher than I would have guessed. There is a high demand for
occupational therapists.
