Best Careers

My father fell and hurt his back doing construction work when he was in his forties and became disabled.  Since he was unable to work after that, my mother had to become the breadwinner.  That was difficult for the whole family, because her salary wasn’t as high as my father’s.  His personality changed after his injury, and not for the better.  His health worsened too.  What happened to my father was what made me decide to become an occupational therapist.  I didn’t want other people to go through what he did.  It was hard on everyone.

I work in rehabilitation at a local hospital and find it very rewarding.  The objective of occupational therapy is to enable disabled people to better their skills.  Many of them struggle with depression and they can make tremendous strides if they can improve their physical abilities.  Well, since I’m interested in helping people improve their skills, I should improve my skills as an occupational therapist so I can do a better job helping my clients.  There’s a school in Arizona that has courses in Master of Science Health Science Programs,  Human Movement Online, and Advanced Occupational Therapy Online, the program I want to take. I’ll be able to stay at work while I take classes.

I’ve been working as a hospital nurse for five years, but my salary would be higher if I had a master’s degree.  We have two young children and want to buy a bigger house.  It never hurts to have extra money, since everything costs more nowadays.

I knew there were online colleges with flexible schedules that offered online nursing degrees, but I wanted to make sure they were accredited schools which would accept transfer credits for the few extra nursing courses I had taken after graduating. It didn’t take me long to find what I was looking for. I also found that just because it’s an online program doesn’t mean I don’t have to work hard. My instructors expect a great deal from us, and I’m learning a lot.  One of the perks of being in school while working full-time is that my husband has to help out more at home.  He’s actually turned out to be a pretty good cook.  We’re both learning to be much more organized -  the kids too.  I tell them they should be grateful we didn’t have to move anywhere, or else it wouldn’t have been possible for me to go back to school.
