change my career

Illness seems to have solved this one for me.

I’ve done a lot of office-based work (typing, secretarial, etc) which has mostly been unsatisfying. I’ts taken me most of my life to figure out what I actually want to do as a career. I met an OT on a course I was studying and the more she told me about her work was the more I realised that this was what I wanted to do. I wanted to find out more, so I visited some OT departments at hospitals & best of all, I got an opportunity to shadow a trainee OT who was visiting clients in the community. It was great.

I’ve now been accepted on a training course, which starts in September. I’m really looking forward to it, but I’ve had a few setbacks in the past, so I’m also a bit nervous that something might happen to stop me from succeeding.

So, I’m now at the stage of doing paperwor, getting vaccinations updated, etc. Watch this space…
