If you’re considering a career in occupational therapy, the first thing you should know is that your salary can be quite high. The average Canadian occupational therapy assistant makes $39,000 per year. That’s not bad!
But if you want to make more money and get paid more, there are several things you can do. First and foremost, consider moving to another country. There are countries all over the world where occupational therapists and their assistants are paid much more than they are in Canada.
One of these countries is Saudi Arabia. Occupational therapy assistants in Saudi Arabia earn an average salary of $52,000 per year! That’s almost double what they make here in Canada!
So if you’re looking for a way to increase your earnings potential, why not consider moving abroad?
