Joseph Horton asked about students interested in the Child Life Specialists occupation. Interestingly, about 5 years ago I had a student enter our AS Psychology program with the intention of this being her career goal. To be honest, she had to educate me more than I could assist her initially, however, since she planned to transfer to an urban institution, I suggested that perhaps there would be jobs available in that market as opposed to our local area in which there are two hospital networks. I did tell her that this was a specialization that was new to me and furthermore I was unable to find places with this job title in the general vicinity - suggesting that it might be difficult to find a job upon graduation.
She did transfer to Temple University in psychology, finished her degree there, but last time I heard from her she was considering a change to OT. She did tell me that she was unable to fulfill her goal of becoming a child life specialists and seemed to imply that I didn't warn her of that difficulty. Hmmm, it is all in the perspective, isn't it?
