- 13. ONet results and Characteristics Occupational Therapy My top category from the ONet profile is social which would be great with dealing with patients everyday. Artistic is my third top category, Occupational therapists have to be creative in both treatment and artistic when dealing with designing braces and casts. Nursing Again with social being my top category, working with people is very important to me. My second category is investigative, which relates to this field if I am trying to figure out how to best fit the patients needs.
- 14. Why I would be a good candidate I believe that I am a good candidate for both sets of programs because of the following: I meet the GPA requirement for all programs. I have taken all the perquisite courses for all programs, even those that my major doesnt require. I have several shadowing and internship opportunities planned for the new future.
- 15. Conclusion As you can see, I am stuck between two great occupations. Going into the Occupational Therapy field does require more schooling, which means more student bills, but this field results in a higher average yearly salary. My plan is to gain experience in both fields to be able to decide which occupation to go in.
