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.

LOL Martina... not ST but I am also pondering OT as a potential (in my area of teaching I do more OT interventions than anything), but like ST the programs are EXTREMELY competitive and I don't want to apply and reapply for years. I might give it a try though.
