In May 2020, I received my B.S in kinesiology, and I applied to OT school. However, it’s so competitive and I do not know what job I should get without having to go to grad school. What is your opinion? How do you feel about a physical education teacher?

I think if you really want to become an OT, you should continue to pursue it. Even if you receive a rejection letter, do not let it stop you from achieving your dreams! However if you want to become a PE teacher, I think it is a great career especially because you are in the school system. That means you have consistency, security, and good benefits! Not to mention the long breaks like winter and summer break since you’ll be with the school year

It would depend on what job you’re trying to aim for. But regardless, for ANY job, I always recommend trying to shadow that “goal job” and see what the work environment is like. Find 1-3 people to shadow and get the lay of the land. This will help you to determine if you even like the job, the job setting, and population you will be helping

@drjustinleedpt 3 жыл бұрын
I think getting a major in physical education would be a better fit to become a PE teacher, since it will teach you more knowledge with the versatility of PE and generic human movement. Kinesiology would be more for specific for jobs that require in depth analysis of human movements (like the proper form of lifting weights) or the science of exercise physiology

If this is a field you are passionate about, I would say go for it! It is super fulfilling and it is a profession that you can feel good about yourself because you can see your direct impact on a weekly basis. It is also gratifying to be able to coach and mentor patients so that their behaviors can change for healthier outcomes in the future. As far as advice goes, I would highly recommend you look into my Online course I created (it’s pinned in the comments). It teaches you everything you need to know to get accepted into PT school. I created it for students like yourself who are lost with the process and need proper guidance so that you don’t waste time and money trying to figure things out. I’ve been in a similar situation as yourself and I remember when I decided to make a career change into physical therapy, I was so lost! That is why I created this course so it can give high-quality guidance

Hey Eun Hae congrats on getting your masters in kinesiology. I would 100% not recommend you choose PT aide as a career path (you are way over qualified for that position). The only reason you would work as a pt aide is to gain experience and observation hours so that you can get into a physical therapy school. Then you would go through PT school to be a physical therapist. With a masters degree in kinesiology you could look into different careers like strength and conditioning coach, wellness coach, teaching, and working up to be a manager at a gym/fitness center/wellness clinic. If you want to do more school, I would suggest going towards physical therapy, occupational therapy, or get your PhD
