    Thanks for this video - I’ve been a hand therapist for about a year now making around 82k, I think I’m worth more now with my skill set so I am looking at new places

      Yes you are definitely worth more than that. Best of luck to you.

    If you account for taxation, the highest paid OTs in the world are located in HK. even the most conventional roles pay around US$78k before tax (around 17%) tax rate with 5 years of exp, that's around US$6500 take home pay even without any specialized certifications... well but of course on the assumption that you dont need to pay rocket high apartment rental fees in Hong Kong!

      How much do OTs get paid in HK? I speak mandarin 🤣

      @lc_laformelle Рік тому

      The average is about 57000 hkd per month, which is about 87k usd per year. But as the salary of all medical related job is high in hk, we still think OT is underpaid😂

      I actually have a video coming out on that next week. For me, I don’t think it’s worth it because I only do hand therapy per diem, but if you want to do it over the long term or work in California it’s probably worth getting it.

      I know OTs who went to OT school in the Phillippines and started working as an OT in the U.S. I'm not sure the requirements, but I know you would have to pass the NBCOT exam. Hope that helps.

    What about Houston Texas? I start an OTD program in the fall.

    • @otfocus
      @otfocus  2 роки тому +1

      I’ve heard Houston is actually pretty good. You could probably make $45 per hour full time and $55-60 if you work in hospital or rehab settings. You probably need to hunt around to find out which facilities pay the most. Start emailing OTs in the area or find them on Instagram.

    I work at JM hospital in the kitchen and make almost 64,000 per year and you said 70,000 as OT ? No big difference, kinda disappointing! Has to be higher than that

    • @otfocus
      @otfocus  2 роки тому +4

      That's pretty good for working in the kitchen. $70,000 is the average OT salary in the U.S but it depends on where you work. In the western states, most hospitals pay $85-100k per year. If you work per diem most facilities start at 100k per year and can range from 110-120k.
