Internship?? Anyone's help?

i don't think you can really internship in an occupational therapist role. at my last job a woman had to complete a said amount of hours in just an observatory role, while in graduate school. and make no mistake, you will need a master's degree to be an occupational therapist. however, i took a job as am inpaiten residential counselor and was able to gain experience working with our unit's mental health therapist. you might want to try applying for a job in a job placement center where you'll have a lot of exposure to different job materials or could volunteer in one of those agencies. I'm a phsych graduate and originally wanted to be a mental health therapist until i realize the added stress, the average yearly income, and the increase in hours worked for the week. What's ironic is that these 2 types of master's degree generally require more totaled credit hours and observation hours than other majors and are still one of the lowest page. me? i want to be a school counselor... that where the big $ is :)
