I know, it sounds different and for some even crazy. To me this is a normal question. I am a business undergrad, had some business experience and after I lost my job due to cuts twice, I decided that I cannot risk it in this economy. I was thinking of getting and an MBA before but I changed my mind. Why? I didn’t feel like I was a specialist. I just did some client work in sales & marketing. Marketing was always my passion but I just don’t see that it can lead me anywhere. This is a glamorous field and you need MBA these days and it doesn’t even guarantee you a good pay after all with all that money spent and hard work. Then I saw how my friend worked as an Occupational Therapist and I decided that this is a nice job, good pay, can be flexible where yo can actually enjoy life and work. Besides, I am being convinced by media that healthcare is always good field for jobs. However, now that I am volunteering in a hospital and actually see how Occupational Therapists work, I cn tell that I like it. But different people say different things about OT. some really discourage me from spending money for it and say that pay is horrible, that budget cuts are getting more and more. Some say that MBA would pay off for sure whether OT- not so much since this is a serving industry and you won’t get rich by doing so. I like the field of OT as much as I love marketing and other aspects of business. I know it is different so are my interests. But I want to spend money for education that pays for itself. Who wants to work and receive peanuts with a Master’s! It is a shame and your family hurts because of this. The hard work must be rewarded and it doens’t happen very often. PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINIONS PEOPLE. I REALLY NEED THEM! THANK YOU.
