[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t let the neighbor get in your head this way.  Speech therapy is really great and needed.  If you don’t want to work in schools, what about child find?  Or at rehab centers with strolls victims?  Have you seen the gabby giffords biopic?  Her speech therapist  made all the difference in her life.[/quote]

Thank you. It's hard not to let it get to me. I feel like such a loser. I thought when getting this degree i would feel accomplished and good about myself, but it's like I feel worse.

I would work at a clinic/private practice but none in my area are hiring. I would also do rehab. None are hiring right now.. .maybe in the future.

Animals are my real passion though. It's hard to see someone else getting to live that dream and all she had to do was a short course. Her husband supports her so I'm not really sure if it's lucrative or enough to live on.[/quote]

You can do both.  Foster animals and Work as an SLP.  You are comparing yourself to others.  SLP is a great career with lots of flexibility and workplace options.  Schools, hospitals, rehab, private practice - yours or others.  You could also work at the associations the representers SLP on policy and regulations.

We will all feel like losers if we compare ourselves to others.  I am not as successful as my colleagues.  I still do good work and make a decent living.
