Question asked: Is it difficult to find a full-time position as an OT?
Answer: Not at all, but it may not be the area you want. If you want to work in a skilled nursing facility or nursing home or something, there are tons and tons and tons of jobs available. Jobs in pediatrics etc are definitely out there, just not quite as plentiful. But it's VERY easy to get a job in OT, even now when jobs are hard to come by. May not be quite as high a salary or there might not be a sign-on bonus or something, but for now, still lots of jobs. Wow my cat is making this really hard to type, he is sticking his skull between my hands on the keyboard. So my worry right now is not GETTING a job, but whether it will be a good job that I can learn in/enjoy....
