Good luck!

[@jamiemathew7869]

hi sandra! what are the different settings of Ot school? what garduate students work in each setting ( environments - peds, gers, adult ) @@sandradoingstuff

[@sandradoingstuff]

Any OT degree is a generalized degree and allows you to work in all settings. OTs can treat any one from birth to death. If you have an interest already, some schools may provide more classes in one area- mine is very neuro and pediatrics heavy for example- and so it’s helpful to ask programs about what they may emphasize. But it’s normal to not know what setting you want to work in, and that’s what’s nice about it being a generalized degree.

[@jamiemathew7869]

hi sandra! thank you for your reply! i appreciate it! i think after seeing some of your videos I think I like peds more than adults or geriatrics! How is it like working in Peds? what age range is pediatrics?!

[@sandradoingstuff]

@@jamiemathew7869 I don't love pediatrics, so I'm not a great resource- I would recommend searching pediatric OT, I know there are lots of OTs that create content around it and may be able to give you a better picture than myself

[@jewlsamps5678]

I’m glad there’s so many OT videos because there are absolutely none for OTAs😅

[@sandradoingstuff]

@OTABABE is sharing her journey! I bet you could requests some tips if you ask nicely enough 😉

[@jewlsamps5678]

@@sandradoingstuff you are the best! Thank you so much🥰

[@sandradoingstuff]

Happy to help! Plus we might be colleagues one day!

How did you go about mapping out the costs ?

[@sandradoingstuff]

Oh I’ll make a whole video on this! But I basically took my cost of tuition (total tuition-scholarships) and made a realistic monthly budget for my living expenses and multiplied that by the number of months I’d be in school. The estimates that schools financial aide places give you are usually way off for cost of living so it’s important to know yourself and your expenses!

how many came here for a strange scientology vlog

[@sandradoingstuff]

just you it seems?

[@emilyau8023]

What

[@dilutioncreation1317]

@emilyau8023 Scientology OT progression. (Operating Thetans). Moving up OT levels takes study and practice. And a lot of money. I'm not suggesting the title needs changing; I'm just amused at my silliness.
