PTA vs OTA in Florida

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hi, I was wondering if someone could shed some light on PTA vs OTA program which one is better and have better opportunities to get a job particularly in Miami FL. I've read some gloomy comments about people struggling to get a job not only in nursing but also in PTA or OTA, but I am not sure.

I would like to go for the OTA since contains more Psychology which I like, but my biggest concern is the fact that OTA is only currently taught in those for-profit schools for some reason, and are really expensive (Concorde, Keyser, South University...), so my plan B is PTA which is do available on College. (Broward or Miami Dade College).

But I wouldn't like to study a career that is really glut like Nursing for these days and having to move to another state.

Any thoughts? Has anyone heard about PTA being hard to find a job? What about OTA? Some people say is far from it, that OTA is difficut.. I also check the usa jobs and there is no demand but there is some.

Any experience, rumors, testimonies?
