hows the job market out there for OT's? how long did it take you to get your masters? do you have to get a doctorate eventually or is a masters enough? im planning to attend PT school in 2014
The job market is great man. With OT, you're pretty much just picking where you want to work and what fits you the best. My program was 2 1/2 years. A masters degree is enough. You really only need a doctorate if you want to teach or do possible research.

diewitsjames, I am heading towards the PT field also. And also in 2014.
By then I will have graduated with a B.A. (Fall '13) and plan to have taken 2-3 pre-reqs for the program.
What is your current status?

I will be through with Nursing School in June. I feel so stupid though because I have a degree in History/Education. We need to school our children on Junior Colleges and certificate programs. I know people who went to OT, PT, RN school strictly off pell grants, which means no student loan debt, and are now under 30 making more than people with PH.D's.

I'm starting my MBA program in January. Can't wait as I've been doing something that I don't like since graduation but it was decently paid and allowed me to get into an MBA program because it was so out of the ordinary.

Enjoy the program, my friend. I just finished my MBA program and I enjoyed it much more than my first master's program. It will be a great tool to add to your toolbox for sure. Several highly ranked managers at my organization cannot move up to become directors because they lack this degree.

I'm in NC right now, but I'm moving to Tampa on Sunday. A lot of people aren't aware of OT services unless they actually receive OT at one point or another. If it wasn't for this allied health class I took in high school, I wouldn't have known about it either.

Man I met a girl in college 13 years ago, who was a nurse, she told me then to get in the health field. Now at 32 I'm 6 months away from the best decision of my life, but only after we reconnected and she made me apply. LOL. And I'm considering PT school when I'm through with this.

Not saying you're an old head, but it's a lot of old heads going back to get their degree.
I'm talking about I've seen men 45+ in college...so you can always head back to get it.

Good stuff, man. The health field is definitely a good field, especially if you are a "people's person". It's very rewarding when you see the positive impact you make on individuals during difficult times in their lives. Job security and good pay is a plus, as well.....lol.

I have said it throughout this thread. Take the GRE, I think Berkeley and Booth are the only top 10 schools that do not accept it for the MBA (and their evening/weekend programs do).
I have said this a bunch as well, my brother and I are both going to Yale and just finished up our 1st session of school.
I have an interview tomorrow morning with JPMorgan for a diversity fellowship (extra stacks for being a minority) and have 7 Bulge IB interviews the first week of January and an interview with Bain on the 14th.
Other than Stanford, there is not a program I would rather be at.

I'm in nursing school right now, but after 5 years of working as an RN, I'll be going back to school (when I'm in my low 30's) to get my MSN/MBA in healthcare administration (dual degree). I eventually want to become a director or CNO.
Question: You think it's possible to go to grad school full time and work part time?

Have my BA for a little over a year and haven't gotten serious about grad school but I definitely need to go back as far as career mobility. Thinking about going for MPA or Law School.. anyone here get their MPA?
