Hey I'm studying Ot in Vienna since September 2023. Since I'm pretty new to University and studying OT, I'm not pretty sure how to explain our future profession in a few sentences especially in englisch. I know it's such a broad field but I'd love to summarize it in just a few sentences. Something that make it easy to understand but catch peoples interest with just a few words.
Thanks in advance!
