I'm a first year graduate student in speech-language pathology. I absolutely love it. I wouldn't choose to do anything else. I knew going in what the salary was & I thought it was fine...obviously you won't be rich, but I don't think it's bad at all. However, I get discouraged when every website that I read, someone comments that the pay isn't good & seem to say discouragingly, "don't get into this field for the money, that's for sure" kinda thing. I'm not in the field for money, but this scares me that some make it seem like you will be living from paycheck to paycheck. Is this true? Is the salary really that awful?
Does anyone know what areas of the country tend to have the highest salaries for SLPs? What population/setting can SLPs make the most money working with/in? Is it worth it to get a Clinical Doctorate? (I don't want a PhD, I'm looking into the Clinical Doctorate at University of Pittsburgh).
Any other info is appreciated.
