LinkedIn is Indeed on steroids when it comes to job opportunities and professional networking. So powerful and puts the ball in your hands

These positions have to stop. University of Tennessee (@Vol_Sports) has 3 “internship opportunities” for licensed, credentialed ATs. The stipend for this 12-month, 40+ hr/week position is… $27000. Plus, a parking pass.
Was going through old job prep notes, seeing what’s changed & what values are still important today. I came across this from probably 10y ago. If this is the end of my career as a full-time AT, accomplishing 75% of my goals when I initially set out is more than good enough for me
The natural transition for ATs is to change settings & take a clinic position w/ reasonable expectations. There’s a functioning HR dept + actually being compensated for OT; but that’s not much an impact on career trajectory, other than finding a tolerable environment long term.
Another transition involves leaving the clinical side & becoming a rep w/ corporations or other companies where our experience & network are valued. Or obviously there are those who start their own business independently. These jobs can lack insurance/benefits & job security.
