I have been out of the workplace for years. My DS1 has SNs and this meant I had to take an extended break from full-time work, although I did manage some part time and freelance work. However, I have had to home educate him and help him overcome his various issues, so f-t work has been out of the question recently.
However, there is now a possibility that DS1 is going to go back to school and I will have the opportunity to work again. I am seriously considering occupational therapy as a career and have been in contact with a local university about a course. I will probably have to do a prep course to get back into academic learning again, however. And I'm worried that, coming from a humanties' background will hinder me. I don't have GCSE Maths and I didn't get a Science A level.
Has anyone else done OT, either as a first or second career? Any advice would be so welcome. Thank you.
