Lee Said:

Why is Speech-Language Pathology a good career?

We Answered:

I can answer your question but I must tell you I am not a Speech Language Pathologist myself. I have though done tons and I mean tons of research, talked to those in the field and retired from the field itself. Speech language pathology is a dynamic field with tons of opportunities to advance and many directions to take. Its a good career because it is a needed career, children with language disorders depend on SLPs to for therapy. It is a good career because of the high demand, growth potential and reasonably good pay. It is a good career because as one such former SLP told me, its a field where you will never get bored and this person bored easily. It is a good career because you have steady work schedule(daytime hours) which means no nights or weekends, though this can change it is not common. It is a good career because you have your choice of work environments(hospitals, schools, home health, travel agencies, clinics) and you have the option of opening your own practice. It is a field I am considering myself and I think it is an excellent choice!

Beth Said:

How long does a master's degree in Speech language pathology take?

We Answered:

I don't know. It might depend on what sort of courses/experience you have already completed.

I did find the web page for the American Speech Language Hearing Association, and they have information about all of the graduate and PhD programs available in speech path, sorted by U.S. state. I would suggest calling the schools nearest you, and seeing what they say.
