 | I see there are many speech language pathologist openings in my area, which can deal with elementary, middle, and high school.
Is it a rewarding job? I'm thinking about currently majoring in English, could I do something with that?

| I've been trying to find some idea of a career I want for a long time. I love things in all the humanities, but there isn't really anything in that field that would give me a safe-paying job, and I don't want to be a teacher. I recently started looking at speech therapists and SLPs, but I want to know it that's really a downright medical job. I don't do to well with blood or talking about the human body, it makes me queasy. Is that something I would need to get over if I decided to become a speech-language pathologist?

 | It is necessary to have a Master's degree to be a practicing Speech Language Pathologist, although, the median salary is nearly $40,000, that's about the same as plumber or a bailiff. I understand it should be about passion over salary but in my opinion, SLP's are hugely underpaid.

| I am in college now and struggling with what to major in. I really love helping people and working with children as well. I am torn between becoming a teacher or a speech language pathologist. Is there a greater demand for teachers of speech language pathologists in Massachusetts? Which one makes a better salary? Anything helps, thanks!

 | I am a college student currently taking up BS Physical Therapy because I intend to enter Medical School afterwards. However, some of my relatives encourage me to study to become a speech language pathologist, instead of becoming a doctor, because SLPs earn up to 6 digits a month. Doctors could also earn that much, but I would still have to study for like, 8 more years.

 | I've got the hots for my speech language pathologist. I hurt my vocal chords and she helped me get completely back to normal over the last 5 months.
She takes her job very seriously and acts super professional, but I still get her to laugh and smile.
On probably our 6th appointment, I asked her how old she was by saying "you must be 27 or 28?" No. "29" no. She said lower. I said "26?" then she said she was 25. I was shocked. I said I never would have guessed (obviously). She said she usually doesn't tell people how old she is because she doesn't think they'd take her seriously but said "I know you and I'm not worried about you." I then asked how she had the time to study that long considering her age. She said graduated HS a year early and studied SLP for 7 years prior to joining the hospital.
I can't remember how but I remember joking around and asking if she was engaged. Her whole body said hell no. I complimented her how much more mature she was than guys her age and she said with disgust, "ugh, I could never date a guy my age."
I got nosey and googled her. I found out from her Facebook that she's dating a urologist resident from the same hospital and he's met her family; however, neither of their pages said they were in a relationship.
She has my file so she knows I'm 37. She gives me a very weak handshake but feels awkward when she's shaking my hand. I can't tell if she wants more, but I know that I do. I certainly wouldn't put this much thought or care into it if I didn't give a $hit. I remember she seemed especially off the week before Valentine's Day, but idk if it was all in my head.
I think she's awesome and my treatment there is going to be coming to an end soon.
Um... help?
There's even more to share but she just seems to give shitty handshakes. Her social cues are very ambiguous so it's really hard to know what the hell she is thinking. No, I don't plan on telling her I went trolling on the Internet and no, I'm not going to tell her I'm into her unless I feel safe to. Unfortunately after this post, I don't think I'm any closer to knowing what to do.

| My girlfriend recently got denied from grad school (second time) where she is trying to get her masters in communication disorders and become an (slp) speech language pathologist. She has her bachelors degree in communication disorders. We are from Ohio and i was wondering if anyone knows what kind of jobs she can get with just her bachelors degree or an alternative route to take a couple more classes and get another bachelors degree.

 | I am graduate student in New York. My major is Speech-Language Pathology. While I love my career choice, my education is very expensive. Are there any schools or hospitals that will cover my tuition costs if I agree to work for them after I have graduated?
