[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a speech and language pathologist. I spent 15 years in the schools before transitioning to private practice in 2012. I make $90K ish. I truly love my job and cannot recommend it enough!

Adding to this- I am biased toward SLP but really, all of the allied health fields are excellent choices for someone looking for a great salary, good work life balance, and wanting to work with kids (some offer that opportunity more than others).[/quote]

NP here -- to the SLPs on this thread, your profession can make a real difference in kids' lives!  My DD, now a junior in HS, benefited so much from speech therapy as a preschooler, and loved her SLP so much, that she's now interested in pursuing this field herself.  My question is:  should she expect to have to pursue a master's?  And, if so, can she do that with a psych major, perhaps with some additional coursework after college, or does she have to major in SLP?[/quote]

Best to go to a school with an undergraduate program.  Most are very competitive.   You cannot do much with a psych major. [/quote]
