What's your background?
I'm switching careers and have one masters already. I was working in a professional position in the field of my masters, but quit to take prereqs for OT programs, and volunteer. I'm now in the position of being a couple months away from finishing my prereqs, and needing a job for the next year or 15 months, while I apply to programs and wait for them to start. Rather than try to work in my old field, I'm looking at various residential counselor and direct care provider-type positions... positions which only require a bachelors degree in psychology, which I have. They're hourly, but I figure it's decent experience for an OT to have. They seem to be plentiful in my area... I think people get burned out easily. It seems like a decent job for a year, since I'm married and can use my husband's benefits.
I thought both pharmacy techs and OT aides needed special training? Are you already trained as an OT aide or something?
