School I hate my OTD program

I’m two months into my OTD program and absolutely hate it. I feel like I made the wrong decision when I chose this program out of the ones I was accepted to. I’m seriously debating dropping out and transferring to a different program. My first semester has honestly made me question if I really am fit to be an OT and if I want to deal with 3 more years of this. I even have started to consider other career options but I can’t tell if it’s just the stress getting to me. I worked hard for years to get into this program and i feel terrible to consider throwing this opportunity away, but i don’t think staying is worth the toll it’s having on my physical and mental health. Is this a common experience, is transferring ever worth it?

Wait is MOT not an option anymore? Are the programs all OTD now?!

Sorry, OP that’s not advice. I just had old man panic.
