Honest thoughts on SLP job economy?
Hi, student doing their bachelor’s in speech sciences and psychology here. I’ve been having the worst master’s program crisis of all time and not knowing what to pursue in the end after my bachelor’s to give myself more job security and stability. I’ve decided my master’s could go many different ways, from psych to neuroscience to SLP to audiology.
I also connected with an SLP in America who highly discouraged even going into grad school for it, let alone the field itself. However, I do see myself working in Asia in the future, so I did consider that there might be different occupational demands between those two places.
If anyone could give me any insights on what they think, especially given my other choices, I’d really appreciate it. I’m so lost in life and I don’t know what to do.
