Hey guys,
Would anyone happen to know how secure the profession of OT is? (Specifically in New York?) I've decided that I really want to become an occupational therapist but it seems like there aren't as many available jobs as there are for professions such as physical therapy. I'm wondering if I should just go into physical therapy because it seems like it will ALWAYS be in demand. I will be graduating in four years (for either OT/PT) and I'm not sure if OT will be as stable especially since new laws will then be enacted and a new president will be elected around that time.
