Mid Life Career Change?

Have you thought about Speech-Language Pathology? Those programs are hard to get into, and if you are coming without a BA in the subject, it is three years of hard work to finish the Master's. If I were a little younger, I would consider it. There are never enough Speech and Language folks around, and you don't have to work directly for a school district or health care facility. You can work for agencies and pick and choose your assignments (or not).

You're still helping kids, but you are out of the classroom and not under the thumb of moronic administrators in the same way. Plus the pay is better.
