[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SLP and it took me awhile to find my footing. For many years I wanted to quit because I was so burnt out from the paperwork. My family convinced me to stay and I am glad I did. I work for a school system that will provide a pension. Also, I found that I love working with early intervention, I do home based visits - before that I worked in a special needs classroom, an elementary school, a preschool and a high school. I have also done private practice work. There are so many avenues you can explore with this degree. I have a friend that starting an infant massage business and another who started a baby proofing business. Another does accent reduction therapy and is in high demand.
My mother was a special education teacher and when she retired she became a dog groomer. What I am trying to say is that it's never too late to explore your passion especially if your day job gives you the income to do so. [/quote]

Thank you for your reply. My mom was also a special ed teacher. 
Do you feel like your job as an SLP affords you the ability to explore your passions? I'm hoping that it can do that for me. I like SLP well enough for the most part, but it isn't my passion (not like animals anyway).
