Is occupational therapy a stressful job?
Occupational therapy consistently receives praise for being a great profession. In fact, Money Magazine ranked occupational therapy as number nine on a list of the least stressful jobs with half of the occupational therapy practitioners surveyed saying their job was low stress. They also reported that occupational therapy is a rewarding profession with a lot of flexibility.
Are there many men in occupational therapy?
The number of men in occupational therapy is growing! Men now represent over ten percent of the occupational therapy workforce – up from just six percent 15 years ago. Occupational therapy has been one of those best-kept secrets, but the cat is out of the bag. NPR recently did a segment on occupational therapy highlighting that it pays well, it’s flexible, and it’s steady work with a future of 20 percent growth in a receding economy.
