    Hi everyone, after taking a year out i'm thinking of going back to study occupational therapy. I'm just wondering though how is the pay so high? Starting salary is 37,000? This cant be right?? Surely there must be some horrible element to the job for it to be that high?! If it is correct, why isn't everybody perusing this career? :pac:

    Page 18 starting salary is €33,969 for graduates.
    Not sure if there are many vacancies in this field though - there has been a hiring moratorium for a number of years as far as I am aware.
