[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm worried about career stability, salary, and satisfaction. I've never had any of those.

Considering Public Health or Special Needs & Inclusion (it's not a teaching degree)

This is my personality: quiet, caring, sensitive, introverted, nurturing
I love special needs children. But I also think about problems like clean air, clean water, environmental issues and animal welfare issues. [/quote]

Think first about what job you want.  Then talk to people who have that job and see what they advise.  It is a very bad idea to get a masters without first understanding what your ultimate goal job-wize is.

Can you give us some idea what your college degree was, and what classes you enjoyed and did well in?[/quote]

My undergrad degree was in Communication Disorders (speech pathology).  I excelled in writing and the classes within my major. [/quote]
And you didn't want to continue with speech pathology? It's such a great field. I think you need to decide if you want to be a teacher or not. Do you want to work with children? Adults? Would you rather work at a desk job as an administrator?[/quote]

I do want to continue with that, but none of the schools near me offer it and relocating is not an option for me. I could wait a while until I'm able to relocate, but right now I can't due to personal circumstances. But the other two are also degrees that would interest me. Is SLP that much better than the other two career options (public health and special needs and inclusion?)
I know some special ed teacher and only 2 loved their jobs. The rest were discouraging when I told them I was interested in it. [/quote]
