Question by hunnybunny123: Can I be an occupational therapist and Kindergarten teacher at the same time?
I’ve always had a passion for children and for helping people. I desperatly want to be a Kindergarten teacher, but occupational therapy just AMAZES me. Is there anyway I can work this out, by being able to do both….And still maintain a life? Lol Thanks alot everyone.

Actually, a ton of occupational therapists work in the schools, so you will be able to see all the children who need your help. The ages will range though unless you are doing just elementary schools. Being both a kindergarten teacher and OT at the same time?? i really don’t see how that would work. You would have to get 2 separate degrees, and find time for each job. IMPOSSIBLE!
