I'm not really sure how recent this article is, but I'm going to ask anyway....so, I am currently looking to pursue a career as a speech-language pathologist. You said that the worst things about your job as a speech pathologist is the "monotony." Is this only because you work in a nursing home with older people? I was under the impression that the job requires a lot of creativity because each patient has different therapy needs. I also assumed that the typical work day would vary because of the diversity in patients and the nature of their problems...am I being idealistic? Or does the nature of the job vary depending on where you work? (I want to own my own practice.) Hi!
