The previous days, I was very confused in choosing medical technology or occupational therapy as my course for college, but by seeing this video, I was really touched and inspired to help other people change their lives, to connect with them and enjoy doing my job as an occupational therapist. Thank you for posting such a heart touching, informative, inspiring and beautiful video!

@dungboy0 here's a few questions you should ask yourself, you say you like to get to know people, which is a good start in understanding them and what you can help them with. What about these? Do you enjoy helping people and solving problems? Are you patient, practical, creative and a good communicator? Do you want to help people optimise their quality of life? Have a look at our website to find out more about becoming an OT.

Is it harder for men to break into this field? I am really interested in finding a career that is meaningful and helps others. Clearly becoming an OT would be great. I worry that I wouldn't be academic enough also.
