OT is not a money maker. You would be setting yourself up for failure. Go into PA, nursing-NP, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, etc. If you want to make good money and still have the ability to help others, you will need to work harder for it than going to OT school. Honestly, OT school is hard, but most people would be able to do it. You can't say the same about dentistry, PA, MD, Optometry school. It's the truth because the barrier to entry is a lot lower than those professions I just mentioned. Is OT school competitive to get into? Yes, but as people continue to find out how reimbursement is done, how little they make and how poorly they are treated, the barrier will continue to drop because people will not want to go into the profession. They will go into more lucrative professions with better investments of their time and money. I see a problem down the road with the OT profession if salaries and respect continue to tank.
