All of us, at some point in our lives, have asked ourselves that fateful question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Few realize the true extent of this question at such an early age. In truth, the reason is because no one, at this point in life, interprets the question for what it really means. “What do you want to learn at university? Which path will you choose? What do you want to become and what do you want to do with your life for forty years, more or less?” Needless to say, it's far from a minor decision. Choosing a career is one of the most important choices an individual can make in life. It is extremely difficult to find a profession that offers a substantial source of income and satisfaction at the same time. Therefore, my answer to this age-old question has been a matter of debate in my mind for a long time. Although the debate is ongoing, I have narrowed down the choices a bit. The careers I am interested in are three very contrasting careers: a physical/occupational therapist, a multimedia artist/animator, and a college theology professor. First, a career as a physical therapist would be my primary choice, while occupational therapist would be my primary choice. secondary choice. These careers are extremely similar in terms of salary, educational requirements, and necessary skills. The main difference between the two professions is that physical therapists focus on helping those who are victims of unfortunate accidents and face a sudden and drastic change in their life. On the other hand, occupational therapists focus on helping those with illnesses or birth defects learn the life skills necessary for basic survival and independence (“Difference and Comparison”). The aspect that most attracted... middle of the paper... to become an occupational therapist you can obtain a doctorate, but many occupational therapists have a master's degree ("How to obtain a degree in occupational therapy"). In conclusion, the job outlook is exceptional for physical and occupational therapists, as there is endless demand for their services. In fact, the job growth rate for occupational therapists may be growing faster than that for physical therapists. Areas and settings for these careers include schools, nursing homes, hospitals, community or private agencies, in-home, outpatient clinics, and military (“Ferguson”). The Air Force, National Guard, Coast Guard and Navy all need these therapists. Benefits of partnering with the military include living space, food service, free healthcare, and service to our soldiers, veterans, and country ("Interest Profiler”).
