I am debating on going back to school. I graduated from st. joes with my bach in teaching and then got my masters in literacy. I have been working with autistic children for almost 3 years and I love it but I feel like this job wont be around in a few years. I have been trying to get a teaching job since 2007 but nothing. I was thinking about going to school for speech but am dreading the thought of all the work it will take and planning the wedding at the same time.
Is anyone going to school now for speech or planning on going?

Re: should I
My sister in law is a speech pathologist. She loves it and makes good money, too. What's also great is that she has 2 young kids, so she schedules clients around her own schedule. I am a teacher too with a Masters in Literacy. I considered going back to school for speech, but truthfully I was overwhelmed with all the requirements. I looked up the program at Brooklyn College, and before you can even be considered for the program, you need 18 (I think) pre-requisite speech credits. For me, I would have to do classes after school and in summer, and it might take me a very long time. I do think it is an interesting field, and if you feel that you should do it, follow your heart! Hmmm, now you have me thinking....lol.

Re: should I
When going for teaching st joes makes you take a minor in something so I decided to take speech communication I liked it so when I grad with my bach in general ed and special ed I also got one in speech communication I took about 3 of the classes I will need to take for my masters in that but I know how much time the practicum is and that is leaning me towards not going back. I work my own schedule now and I love it! I work alot with speech path. so I kinda already know what I will be doing. I dont know....
