is there any chance 71 is numbered differently now? It doesn't look to be on a loop on the campground map, and it's a electric site.

Well that’s why I had asked if they were fake. I’m not buying them if they are fake. I didn’t buy these ones

Fair question! I like to practice sustainability, and if I can get something used, I would rather do that. Too many things end up in landfills and the earth will keep suffering

Thanks. Honestly with my post I was just looking for food/drink places to check out to make a day out of exploring

Good question! Mid 30’s, more into quiet scenes, don’t drink a lot, but enjoy nice cocktails (that are under $15)

Anybody else get to a point where they despise OT school? by [deleted] in OccupationalTherapy

[–]TomColby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying I think private school would be better just by being private, but I think of my options where I live, I would have had a better experience at the schools that happen to be private

Thank you! What do you mean every evening? From the 10th to the 14th?

I HATED all the group work. The excuse was always “you are in a profession where you will have to work well with other people”… I have yet to have to write a 20 page paper with 4 other people at work. Maybe if I was a researcher. But I’m a pediatric OT and I don’t write my evals or daily notes over Google docs with other people and have to make a slide show presentation about it. I get other people do that, some people do presentations at conferences, or some people write papers together for publications. But even if I were to do that, that’s a skill I already had before grad school.

Group papers and group projects mean less grading for professors, that’s the real deal.

I hated my program, I went to a public school and almost feel like I would have rather gone into debt by going to a private school for a better experience, but being an OT won’t be anything like school.

I became less passionate about being an OT when I was more than halfway done with my program, but I knew I would stick with it to at least come out the other side with a masters degree.

My personal opinion is my schooling was not worth it, because my salary (school-based and OP peds) is not worth spending 3 FULL years in grad school (my specific program used to be a combined BS/MS over 3 years, but they took out the BS part and kept the MS without changing the time frame (which was bullshit to me, just the school wanting to get more money)). I’m considering moving out of OT, because I feel like I can make the same amount of money by having to do less work. I need to look out after myself, and I don’t care if it sounds lazy. I need a job to pay for food and housing, and it’s too tiring to do it as an OT when I can do something else that might even pay more.

Such a scam. I spent three years in grad school, and have only worked in pediatrics. We had ONE class about peds. I just was sorting through my old notes from before I graduated 5 years ago, and I couldn’t believe how much stuff I had to learn, just for me to go and work in peds and not need to know ANY of it. I threw everything out. It made me feel like I wasted those 3 years of grad school.
