[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So be a speech pathologist during the school year and train dogs during the summer. That way you still get all the health benefits and retirement etc. of being a school employees.

By the way, that's what my mom did.  Speech pathologist who worked with show dogs during the summer.[/quote]

I get what you’re saying but it’s not quite the same. I want to help injured or sick animals, not show dogs for profit.  I’m an introvert and I will inevitably burnout from being an SLP. I always wanted to work with animals but I have an ethical dilemma that I feel when it comes to profiting off of helping animals… which is why I didn’t choose to go into that and I chose to foster instead.

 You might benefit from some cognitive behavioral therapy because some of your thinking patterns are very distorted. SLP is a great job with a potentially flexible schedule that will allow you to volunteer or even potentially have a job working with animals on the side or OT. I know a number of SLPs and they all work in different settings and have had different types of jobs over the years - hospitals, elementary schools, school system with much older kids in vocational programs, nursing homes, private practice with kids, association that represents speech pathologists, preschool kids in individual homes…[/quote]
