[quote=Anonymous]Careers like SLP, OT, RN, PT, social worker, teacher etc. came to mind right away. I have a daughter a lot like yours who is happily studying to become an occupational therapist after finding her passion working with individuals with disabilities through Best Buddies club in high school. She did not want to be in an office all day and wanted to feel like she was helping people in her job (as opposed to helping a corporation ...not that there's anything wrong with that). She just really likes people and wanted to incorporate that into her career. Pay is good, and with the aging population there already is a major demand for healthcare workers. Many of these fields are surprisingly competitive though. My daughter went through OT school application cycle for fall 2016 and most of the schools she applied to had hundreds of applications for ~30 spots (and she wasn't applying to the super prestigious programs either).
