Who is a good fit for this role?
​
What personality traits do you feel help make this career sustainable for you? Why were you attracted to this role at the beginning and has that generally stayed the same? What should someone going into this field consider?
Context: I am currently a speech language pathologist and am trying to do some career exploration as I want to leave the field. I am so afraid of choosing another wrong one and spending more money just to hate it. I know there is no guarantee, but I am trying to do my due diligence. The things I hate about my current job are "being on" all the time, so much direct patient care. I love reading the medical files, completing evaluations, analyzing my evaluations to determine diagnosis, eligibility, and goals. I enjoy collaborating with my team members as well. I just am an introvert and the field drains me.
