For starters, both are great caerers that will always be in demand. I am a speech path student, and might be a little biased, but I will try to answers your questions.An occupational therapist has a broader range of duties and responsibilites than does a speech pathologist. They work to improve gross and fine motor skills, while an SLP works to improve speech and language skills. I chose a career in speech pathology for several reasons. First, I love working with kids and have a very caretaking personality. Second, I have always had a passion for it; I became addicted to reading at an early age, and always did well in English and foreign languages. In addition, I desired a career where I would have some independence and also make a good living. An occupational therapist probably shares many of these qualities, minus the speech/language stuff. You can feel good knowing though, that each job pays decently, and each will always be in high demand. Good luck!
