OT on U.S. News and World Report’s List of “Best Careers 2008”

The future looks bright for occupational therapy! The career of occupational therapist has made U.S. News & World Report's list of 31 "Best Careers 2008." It also listed the job of an occupational therapy consultant as a "smart specialty." In selecting the most promising careers, U.S. News considered job satisfaction, training difficulty, prestige, and job market outlook.

Although the magazine does not tease out many specific factors that make occupational therapy such a promising career, it's not difficult to surmise that the shortage of occupational therapists, an aging population, and general job satisfaction have contributed to giving the career a pretty enviable position. U.S. News described the job of occupational therapist as a "challenging career that's best for creative, practical people who find satisfaction in small successes."

Occupational therapy also appeared on the "Best Careers" list in 2007.
