thank you for this video.

I need to start driving first that’s my main goal

Cool I have autism and I want to be a recreational therapist and a physical education teacher

Love, Loved your presentation, thanks! I have a BS in Rec. Admin, which was utilized and relevant in my youth, however, I am 55 yo. In my twenty's I remember being educated along side REC Therapist students, but didn't understand its full purpose and application. I am working as a real estate appraiser and miss the feeling of the social betterment I had while leading adventure tours. I am leaning toward pursuing this goal in my future and thanks again for your time, love it! -Todd

Does it is better to do recreation therapy after completing PT? In the field of RT , foes it have any scope to apply physio techniques in patients?

I have a degree in Graphic Communications Design, but I've realised recently that I don't want to do this as a career. Doing another degree isn't feasible for me, do you have any recommendations for someone who can't do a degree on how to enter the field?

I am mildly interested because I have a nursing background but I quit nursing school because I was frustrated with myself and I did not pick my school well, however I still want to be in healthcare in the future perhaps. I am well set in a government job and I feel the pull to go back to healthcare. So I am looking into many other modalities. I would want to get into addiction and mental in CTRS. Is there any suggestions you can make concerning choosing a major.

Very helpful presentation as I’m trying to help my daughter discover a profession to suit her abilities and character.

Hey Meahan, I am 36 years old and done some research online, and what I saw from my end for education it was just high school diploma. and then 3 plus years working in a place that dealt with recreation specialist. So with my age of being 36, I was wondering is it possible too late to do all the education/training? Thanks

I'm a 28 year old male and thinking of studying this is it realistic that I'll find a job in this field.

Hi i wanted to know what is the average salary of RT ?

OTA here looking into CTRS and unsure where to start seeing is I’ve already done half requirements. Any tips?

Hi Meagan, do you think that it's possible for someone who is totally blind to be a rec therapist?

Is this classified as Health care or Counseling? What's the difference between RT & Art Therapist?

I am a physical therapist and have not heard much of this profession.. still not sure what exactly ya do vs a PT and OT.

Hi, I'm just wondering if you have a good work-life balance or if this job requires a lot of work at home as well?

How old were you when you started college and how old are you now

Hi, do you recommend me a link or book where I am able to study to the test thanks

I love this video so much thank you Meagan. ❤

Thank you so much for this video Meagan it really helped me to make my decision to want become a Rec therapist easier 🥹 because I really want to help people and want to grow to love what I do. And I am in school but I kept on changing my major so I wanted to try to find something that will fit me also has a creative person and also as someone that wants to work with kids or elderly people and I want to help to calm people’s minds and worries.

Hi Megan, thank you so much for sharing your content with us! I'm a beginner so theis is great imput and great inspiration. 😉😉🌼

Hi Megan I completed post graduate certificate in therapeutic recreation. Can I eligible for getting license in this field? Please response me

I would LOVE to do this but don't have a program near me 😔 Do you know of any hybrid programs?

Hello Megan, Im really interested in this type of profession, do you know if Boise state university offers a program that will lead to this type of job?

Loving these videos!

Very informative video, thanks so much! Btw, Is that a Canadian accent that I’m occasionally hearing? I was born in NB, moved to the US as a kid, but now live in Alberta 😊

Can you become a Recreational Therapist with an Exercise Science degree that you know of? I am getting mixed messages from google. The college I am committed to does not offer a recreational therapy bachelors program but I was planning on majoring in exercise science to pursue physical therapy until recreational therapy caught my attention and is so much more appealing!

I’m a current special education teacher who has been thinking of a career change for a while now as I LOVE working with children with disabilities but don’t love the role of the teacher with how our school system currently is. Are there any alternative routes of getting that certification with a different degree, or is getting the Bachelors in Rec therapy necessary?

Mam can we find job in recreation therapy field after having a diploma in it just after 12th.

This tea you always drinking on your videos, what is it for?

Soon-to-be high school graduate here. Do you NEED to major in therapeutic recreation to become a CTRS? Can you major in a related field such as psychology? Not a single college near me offers a degree in therapeutic recreation, and I’d rather not go far out of state.

Do you have to have a bachelors in Recreational Therapy? I have an associates in sport and exercise studies but am very creative and artistic. It would be awesome to enter a career that would allow me to use my degree and also be creative and help others. I do not want to go back to school because I was in school for a long time. Is a bachelors required?

Hi Meagan thank you for this very informative video! I am looking to switch my major to Therapeutic Recreation, however, I am wondering is this a 40 hour week job? Do you have any work outside of contract hours? I am in Canada and there is a diploma program for therapeutic recreation to become a recreational therapy assistant, have you been an assistant before? How does it differ from your position as a recreational therapist now? And how do you work through your compassion burnout? Thanks!! :)

Hi I have currently been working as an activity director in long-term care for 13 years. I have looked at this program of study a while back and had some people talk me out of it. I’m currently prenursing and I’m not interested at all in being a nurse. This video has encourage me to pursue a degree in something I’m passionate about. I I am currently looking at schools that offer this program.

I am a Recreational Therapist (graduated in 1986), and need all who watch this to know that there are problems with reimbursement of RT services by Medicaid and Medicare, and ultimately commercial insurances follow suit. What my experience has been is that these positions are few and far between in healthcare due to this factor. I went back to school and obtained an MBA with a minor in Healthcare Management which has opened many more doors for much higher paying jobs that were better suited for me. The best place to look for jobs is in correctional settings and long-term care or assisted living programs. Otherwise, 'Recreation Leaders' without the same level of education will be hired to replace us and get paid a much lower rate! Good luck to all!

Mam i wanna pursue this profession in canada ..... Thnks for inspiring me

Just tuned in. Enjoyed this vid. Please do more!💯

Do you often take work home with you or work on the weekends?

Hi Meagan! Thank you for making this awesome video! I already have my BA in psychology, and I am considering going into the field of recreational therapy. Would I have to go back to school to do my bachelors in recreational therapy? I ask because some programs in other fields will allow you to apply apply for a masters program even though your undergraduate degree may me in a different major. I am a bit lost about this. I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you!!!

Can this be done with a BA in social work?

Meagan, this is such a great video! I love your attitude and your kindness about all things around you and and in your life! I am going to start my journey in RT in October in the Graduate program at Northwest Missouri State University. I'm so excited I have found this beautiful profession and I will keep looking out for your posts - they are so helpful and enjoyable. Cheers! My very best to you, Tracy

Hey Meagan! Are the steps to getting the license the same in Georgia ?

Hi I am studying Bachelors in Recreation and leisure studies doing my second year. I am interested in becoming a Recreational Therapist. I am very good with kids meaning I'll be focusing on this group. I am still lost on how to become a Recreational therapist please help

Can you get a good job based on diploma in recreation therapy?

Hi Meagen, I'm a 20 year old currently studying Recreational sciences with Psychology, I am in my second year and I'm looking into doing my masters in Recreational Therapy after I get my degree. I'm studying in South Africa so I have a lot of questions regarding this because I want to know if my degree will be accepted overseas and I would like to find out more about internship after my studies aswell as the program you mentioned in this video. I really hope to get feedback from you. - Amore Steyn
