Hi there.
The most challenging about becoming a speech pathologist was juggling home, work and college (master’s). But it was so worth the sacrifices. Get right into your masters after your bachelor’s. I chose to work in the school district and will be retiring soon with 30 years into the retirement system. I also work with adults in home health setting which I could keep doing on a part-time basis. Keep your doors open.
