You know how people always ask you what you majored in during your college years? Well, try telling them that you got a Human Movement Graduate Degree Online and then watch their reactions. People never fail to have some sort of reaction to this and it’s usually not positive. I’ve discovered over time that it’s better if I alter my answer and keep those conversations simple!
It’s not that my degree is all that complicated really. Basically it’s just an Advanced Occupational Therapy Online Degree that I received from the Arizona School of Health Sciences. It’s just that the focus is specifically on aiding human movement. However, the name of it confuses people. They start assuming that I’m interested in human migration patterns or some such thing.
Mostly I just tell people that I got my degree in physical therapy. It’s not quite what I do but it’s close enough and it saves me the trouble of having to explain myself again and again. And I definitely just don’t bother mentioning that I got the degree online because that just stirs up a whole second set of questions and problems from people that I don’t really want to bother answering!
