I just started my junior year in college and started looking into a career as an occupational therapist after attending a recent job fair in town.  There’s a school in my state that has an Occupational Therapy program which I’ve been meaning to look into; coincidentally, they had a booth at the fair and I was able to get some brochures and talk to one of their admissions officers for over an hour about their program.  He recommended a few more courses I should take as an undergraduate to satisfy their prerequisites, and mentioned that job opportunities for occupational therapists were growing, especially in larger cities.  He was very helpful and directed me to their website for additional information about the school and and said to also check out their Health Sciences online programs.  He then gave me his email address at the school in case I want to contact him directly. 

I was very happy with that discussion and am making plans to visit the school soon.  I’ve also started looking at the programs offered by other schools, just to compare different schools before making a final decision.  But the first school is still my top choice.  They even have an online Doctor of Health Sciences Program, but of course that’s something else altogether.
