Is a Career in Occupational Therapy Worth Perusing?

Question by Kellina: Is a career in Occupational Therapy worth perusing?
I currently work with Autistic children and am thinking about getting my masters in Occupational Therapy. I really enjoy working with these children but want to make a career out of it. I am currently in a position where I’m basically a counselor for these kids in a school setting. I’m looking for a rewarding hands on career. If anyone out there has any advice or if you are an occupational therapist let me know what you think!
