text: is the course occupational therapy a good choice to take in college? is it really gonna be in demand in the next few years? is it also good to be a pre-med course? at this time there is a great need for physical and occupational therapists. the population will be aging significantly between 2010 to 2030 and there will be greater emphasis on the older adult population which tends to be a target group for the therapies.  for pre-med i would concentrate on the sciences and math courses. if you do enter medical school and want to focus on rehab medicine or a related area it would be good.
