SLP, Ready for a different career choice?

Are you a speech-language pathologist who is burned out, ready to retire or wanting a second job (full-time or part-time)? How does your experience and degree translate into something else?

Author Katie Schwartz, CCC-SLP, reports there are many career possibilities, from publishing to government. Her book, Alternative Career Options for SLPs (www.BusinessSpeechImprovement.com) offers detailed descriptions of 18 choices, and mentions of more. If you are looking for CEUs, her online seminar, New Career Choices for SLPs,(www.onlineceus.com) offers additional choices. Both include a self-assessment questionnaire to help readers consider possible paths they may take.

Physical and occupational therapists may also be interested in some of the choices presented, which would apply to those field as well.
