Hey, I can invite you to my couch and charge ya! LOL! Then I can refer you
for more Ambien sooner! LOL!
I happen to know a little about the Speech Pathology track. It's now a
required 6 years I believe. BUT GIRL----- THEY PAY BIG BUCKS!!
My 2nd daughter went for Speech Pathology to Pitt. Got her degree in
communicative disorders. For personal reasons, wasn't up to going on for
her master's degree at that time, so she can't get licensed in PA as a SP.
BUT, she applied to the local school district last year and filled their
emergency sub position for SP (they've been looking for one for 3 years) and
was earning $48k. She could only do it a year because you can only
emergency cert for a year and she realized in a year, that wasn't what she
wanted to do! LOL!
If you think in a PRACTICAL sense, Susan, we're living longer and longer.
Even at 54, you still have 15-20 years of full time working (you and I are
both single and haven't planned well for retirement-- well I haven't anyway!
LOL!)
GO! GO! GO!
Bam, sorry to be keepin' ya up at night! LOL!
