[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will learn a lot in your clinical fellowship year and you will have the training to make a real difference in people's lives.

My kid went from severe expressive and receptive speech and language disability at preschool to admissions with full scholarship at a top-20 university.

If your goal is to work with animals, you can always get a year or two of speech path experience, and then shit to part-time in speech path while building up an animal-related business. I mean, it sounds like your neighbor basically does dog massage one day a week? You could do that too, even working ft. [/quote]

The CFY is honestly useless. We already were forced to work for free (full time clinical rotations) in grad school doing 4 clinical rotations. So I honestly feel burnt out before even beginning. I've done private practice, EI (early intervention), schools, and outpatient rehab.

I'd love to just be independently wealthy and help animals. That's why I foster. I have no student loans and a good financial foundation (I switched careers)... so at least I have no debt (most SLPs do). But still, it is depressing to go through all the red tape in this field. And I do not enjoy certain aspects of it. I like helping people, but a lot of being SLP involves stuff that isn't direct therapy (assessments, write up, paperwork).[/quote]
