 | I originally wanted to become a kindergarten teacher, but a job in speech therapy has recently caught my attention.
If you're a speech therapist, I was wondering if there was any advice you can give?
|

| Also, do you consider this amount as very, very good pay. I love to help people and that is why I think I would like this career. I also want a career that will satisfy my financial needs and wants. I can tell you for sure I want a really, really good super paying job. Also what do you all think about Physical and speech therapists' pay?

 | In a few years time I will be an MA qualified and licensed Speech and Language Therapist - my dream is to go to NY state, or specifically NYC to get a job in a private centre, or public hospital.
What is the process I would have to go through to - find a job; get a visa; move over there. And what is the likelihood of being able to find a workplace which will sponsor me to come over, as opposed to hiring a 'home grown' language therapist?

| I can offer a great hourly rate with groups of two in local charter schools. Basically the job is a peach. The best part is that Sarasota is beautiful, cultural and near the beach. Right now I'd like someone to work in the schools so that I can take care of the office. But if they wanted to learn the business, the summer would be a perfect time. I'd like to find someone who could eventually take over. How do I get there from here on a small advertising budget in competition with the bigger companies when there is a shortage of Speech Therapists nationwide. I am not big enough to offer benefits other than continuing education. I don't want to waste money with ads in non-productive places.

 | I'm graduating from high school in the spring. I really love psychology. I'm just afraid I wouldn't be able to find a job. If I had my masters degree in speech pathology/communication disorders/whatever, I probably wouldn't have any trouble finding a job as a speech therapist.
However, I also read that a lot of psychology majors use their degree to help them become speech therapists. So, I'm wondering if I should follow my passion and use speech pathology as a back-up if psychology doesn't work out.

3. They could be our nerdy mathematicians.
4. They could be our scientists.
5. They could obviously be Taxi Cab Drivers if they can at least say hello to people.
6. If they could learn to show emotions, then they could be Hollywood actors or actresses if the cameras don't cause anxiety for them (this could be a huge concern for some).
7. There are more and more Aspie Psychologists nowadays.
8. I don't know if it's illegal for them to do this, but some could be exceptional Police officers.
9. If they can learn to be obsessed with playing a sport and also learn how to come around the poor motor coordination, then they could be athletes.
10. Some could be doctors if they can build empathy skills.
11. They could become good security guards.
12. Movie Critics
13. Song Writers
14. Since some have obsessions with computers, more should consider being producers in Hollywood.

19. Teachers since they have obsessions with certain subjects.

2. Bloggers since a lot of them have limited speech patterns.
3. Sports Announcers since they might not be able to talk for long periods of time, and it generally requires a lot of social interaction.
4. Comedians since most of them are unable to get jokes in the first place, although some are exceptional at it.

10. Construction workers.
11. Musicians since singing isn't a requirement.
Jobs that they should never do:
1. Any job that requires verbal communication.
Now there's the Low Functioning Autism:
1. They could be actors or actresses still if they can be verbal, but memorization could be a huge concern.
2. Vetrinarians if they have the mental capacity to do so.
3. Gardeners
4. Janitors

| I am currently an Elem Ed. major. I find myself torn between the incredibly low paying Ok wages and my desire to make a positive impact in the lives of children. I was thinking maybe a Speech Therapist might be the way to go. I need any information regarding education requirements, certifications, salary & benefits. Thanks!!!
