God bless you sister! I am currently 17 in my junior year of social work undergrad and Slp has come to an interest to me but I’m still waiting on God to show me what route he wants me to take MSW or Master in SLP. Thank you for sharing!!❤️🙏🏾
Hey @lilly4724 and @@deshongarrison2121! I am also an ASLP student in India (Asia). I would like to connect with you personally with more information about studies,books and information here and out there for u.
This is great inspiration, thank you! I’m almost done with my AA, moving on to my English Bachelors, then SLP! I’m super excited, and can’t wait to help those in need! Travel and PRN jobs sound the best by far! I’ve seen so many travel jobs where they pay for stay, food, gas, etc. free travel is amazing!
Cheers to almost being finished with your AA ! It sounds like you have a solid plan going forward ! Proud of you ! Let me know if you have any questions !
CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSS ! Being accepted into graduate school is such a huge accomplishment 💕 So excited for you ! You are going to absolutely love our field ! If you have any questions please let me know !
@@TheEverythingYoville My GPA was 3.8 ! I had a few different extracurricular activities … I ran track , I was in a sorority and I was in a few other organizations on campus .
@@TheEverythingYoville sooo I have 2 undergrad degrees...the first one is unrelated to SLP, and was under a 3.0. 🥴The second one (in Speech and Hearing Sciences) was a 3.8. This is a career change for me, so I have a full time leadership experience for over 3 years vs extracurriculars. I opted for 4 letters of recommendation vs the typical 3 that are required. Lastly, I strategically chose schools that aligned with my values, and included an interview process, because the idea of a school choosing me solely based off my paper application just made me nervous. But...everyone is different. If it's what you want, do your research and go for it. You got this 💗
@@TSlater_ Thank you!!! I'm super excited, and can't wait to get started. Love that I stumbled across your channel. Your SLP, and debt free journey content resonates so much with me! Keep inspiring us 💖✨
Stumbled upon your video while I was looking for something else, related to SLP and dysphasia. Good for you for working hard to pay down your debt. I am a recently retired after 30+ years as an SLP. And yes you are correct, when you get burned out in one area you can switch to another. I worked in skilled nursing, adult daycare, specialized skilled nursing for Huntington’s patients, and home health. Now that I have retired, I’ve totally switched things up and I am taking a stab at UA-cam in the make up subscription box niche. Have a great week😊 you give a good inspirational motivational basis to those that are coming up in the SLP training.
oh my goshhh i needed this!! currently in grad school for slp and was started to feel very discouraged with all of the bad reviews regarding pay. thank u so much for sharing and having such a positive attitude! you are an inspiration 💕
You hit the head on the nail. Well kept secret. I am in teaching and I am seriously considering switching at my big age. Lots of remote positions. I would have to go back to school, though.
You are absolutely right ! There are a myriad number of remote positions for SLPs ! And who doesn’t love working from home ? You would only have to go back to school for two years ! You can do it ! It’s a shortage of SLPs ! We need more clinicians in the field !
So thankful this is here. I tell people its possible and they act like I have three heads. Now I have an additional reference that I can brag about. THANK YOU for sharing your testimonial !
@@TSlater_ you’re so inspiring:) I’ve been so confused about whether I can expect to make 30k or 90k lol. I plan to work my booty off the first year or 3 and buy some rental properties to eventually not have to work so hard. Blessings for you. Also DANG you’re pretty 🤤
@@TSlater_ are you happy to be in this field as such a hardworking person? You seem like someone who could have succeeded in many fields. Sometimes I wonder why I’m in grad school maybe I should be in a different industry if what I’m aiming at it financial independence….what are your thoughts
@@our.secret1130 So proud of you for setting goals and plans to achieve your goals ! It’s you’re ! You can do ittttt ! I can’t wait to hear about it all !
The one thing you forgot to mention is home health has a great pay. About two years into working home health you can typically made between 97 and $110,000 working about a 40 hour work week. Also, if you just do PRN in 2 to 3 places that have consistent work, you can make well over that.
You’re absolutely right Matt !!!! I didn’t mention the home health setting because I have not worked in that setting yet . Thank you for sharing that information !
BAs in Linguistics and Cognitive Science. Been working as a software developer, and obviously doing well. But with AI threatening the entire field, I'm thinking more and more about SLP as a backup. Phonetics and phonology are my passion. I've been seeing the incomes for SLPs going up, and that's really promising. Because coder salaries are going down.
Thanks so much for sharing all of the different options in the field! A lot of people don't know about PRN and travel opens; they are awesome for gaining extra cash in the field and paying down debt. Great video!
I've been an SLP for 27 years (I was an Audiologist before that). All of my years as an SLP have been in public schools. I'm also an Assistive Tech and AAC Specialist.There can challenges such as high caseloads and workload but overall, I've enjoyed my career. School districts pay well in Southern California so that's a bonus. Overall, I do recommend this field if you like working on teams, serving people and being creative.
I'm a junior in undergrad majoring in CMD. I thought I wanted to be an SLP but I'm starting to become more interested in audiology. If you don't mind my asking, why did you switch career fields?
@@anayah7393 Audiology is a great field to venture off in as well . My undergraduate degree is in Broadcast Journalism . I decided to switch my career path for 2 reasons . 1. Qualitatively …. I was no longer passionate about broadcasting the news . 2. Quantitatively … the broadcast field does not pay as much as SLPs starting off . I hope this helps !
I have my Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies, and I have taken a year break from school. I've been thinking about going to school to get my Master's degree to become a SLP. Thank you for this motivational video!!
You’re welcome ! Happy to hear that you took a break and now you’re ready to start start your graduate program ! Let me know if you have any questions .
How do you secure your Travel SLP job for the year? I am seeing jobs posting for 13 weeks contract. How do you secure the different jobs for the year. I'm currently researching about the field for a career transition from Teacher to SLP. I'm in my late 40s.
While you are working the 13 week contract, you can communicate with your recruiter that you would like to start looking ahead to secure your next contract. Also, sometimes your current contract may be extended. When I was a travel therapist, my contract was extended one additional time then after that they offered me a full-time position and I accepted it.
I had to have one when I was five years old. I wanted to do this as a career when I was a child. My mom said I would have to be in college for rooming and that I wasn’t smart enough because I have a learning disability. Well come to find out I’m only autistic and have adhd. I’m not stupid. So I’m thinking about it.
mmm how to make 6 figures working 3 jobs at the same time, working 40h a week shouldn't be the norm and working more affects you're quality of life, I know student debt and life in the US is expensive but still... but each to their preferences, thank you for sharing your experience so honestly too!!
Thank you for this... as a new single parent living in CT about to graduate from NYU in Summer 2024 I am so inspired by you.... I need to get 6-figure for baby girl and I to live our best life so any other tips you have, I'mhere for it :)
My CF experience counted in my two years ! CONGRATULATIONS for being half way through grad school ! You got it girlllll ! Let me know if you have any other questions !
Hello! Thank you for the video it's been so helpful. I'm an SLP with 2 years experience in the UK looking to move to the US next year. Do you know what processes I need to go through? I'm aware I need to sit a Praxis exam. But apart from this, it's all still very new!
Congratulations of completing two years in our lovely field ! Happy to hear you are moving to the USA and you plan on providing services here ! I am not exactly sure of the process; however, ASHA always knows the answer. Here is the link to contact them to ask your respective questions. www.asha.org/form/contact-asha/ If you aren't able to do so let me know and I can do it for you ! Best of luck !
I should have done this, but feel.it is too late ...I heard it was very competitive getting into the field. You have to get a bachelors and masters with high GPA...Im 43 so I probably will not get done until I am 48 or 50 wish I would not have wasted time and money getting a bachelors and masters degree in my 20s😢 that I am not even using now
Key thing to note here is you said "made" not "make", as in past tense. It raises questions of why would you leave if you loved it & also, why start a youtube channel if you were financially set?
I did not leave the profession . I am still practicing as a SLP just in a different setting and location . One of the reasons why I created my UA-cam channel to bring awareness to the field of communication sciences and disorders .
Ain't God good! I'm in my last 9 months of Grad school and when I say these school loans have been stressing me out... Thank you So much for sharing this video with us. Quick question, did you start working multiple jobs during your CF or after?
Congratulations for being in the last nine months of your graduate program ! Keep pushing ! Please don’t let the loans stress you out ! You will make enough money to pay them back . No ma’am I did not work multiple jobs during my CF . But AS SOON AS I received my CCC’s, I started working as a PRN SLP at an acute care hospital .
Hai.I am Kripa and I loved your video.Glory and thanks to god for showing this videoo.I will complete my masters in SLP by this month.I just want to know whether I can work in school set up with my masters degree here in India.Can u plese make a comment on this
You're such an inspiration to me!! Listening to your video has made me feel so excited since this is my dream career. I've decided to switch my major to CSD but I've been super nervous about applying to grad school for SLP. I've heard how difficult and competitive it is. Do you think someone with a 3.6 has a chance to get accepted into a master's program? I just don't want to get rejected from all of the schools I apply to and have no backup plan. But this really is my dream.
So happy to hear you are applying to graduate school to become a speech-language pathologist ! I believe with a 3.6 you do have a chance of getting accepted into a master's program. I was rejected the first year I decided to apply for the master's program. The second time I applied, I decided to apply to twice as many schools as I did the first time. I was wait listed at two schools, then eventually both schools offered me an acceptance letter. My greatest piece of advice for you is to apply to as many schools as possible. You may have to apply to schools that are out of state as well. I am rooting for you. Please keep me posted on your journey and let me know if you need anything else Sarah !
Most travel positions are 13 weeks long . However you can find some travel positions that are shorter or longer . My travel position required me to work 4 ten hour days . So I worked Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. My off days were Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday . So I would usually work my PRN jobs on Saturdays and Sundays .
hey! thanks for the video. i am applying to colleges, interested in speech language pathology right now. i love helping people and the variety in settings however science was definitely not my strong point in high school. is it still possible to do well and enjoy school with the heavy science content? thanks!!
I only have an AA, sped cert, & trying to find an undergraduate program that would be relevant to SLP. I’m currently an RBT, was going for teaching, but not for me. I’m worried about my gpa currently from cc, so I also need to bring my grades up through my future bachelor program and then try to apply for communication disorder/slp graduate program. Im so far away, it’s my dream job but just stressing about the obstacles. Uh Manoa in Hawaii is pretty hard to get into for grad school. Do you think an online masters degree would be of worth?
Hi Marissa ! So happy to hear about your desire to become a speech-language pathologist ! You can do it ! An online communication science and disorders program is perfect ! There are quite a few of universities that offer the program . I included the link below . find.asha.org/ed/#sort=relevancy
Hey T. Slater! I stumbled upon your page and started following your IG! I sent you a direct message! Hopefully you can answer some questions I have about the SLP Program! I hope to hear from you soon!! Best, JD
Hi I’m in my fourth year of getting my Bachelor’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I really am worried about graduate school! What GPA do they want and what extracurriculars and work experience? My cumulative GPA right now is 3.8 and I could try to improve it but do you think I have a chance with the GPA I have now?
Hi ! Congratulations for making it to your four year of the CSD program . That’s definitely a huge accomplishment . Each school has different requirements for their program . I was accepted into graduate school and I also had a 3.8 GPA . I definitely do think you have a fair chance of being accepted . Apply to as many schools as possible . I was wait listed for all the programs I applied to, then I was finally offered an acceptance into two of them ! Good luck ! Keep me posted ! I’m rooting for you !
Hey, I'm from India and done with my Master's degree in SLP, Do u think my chances are good to aim for a job at US for should I do my Master's degree again in US to get to know the system better and increase my chances of job. I want to work in US.. Plz do suggest
Hey ! Congratulations for completing your Master’s degree ! Definitely a huge accomplishment ! My best advice would be to contact the American Speech-Language Association to get clarification on the necessary next steps to work as a SLP in the USA. I have included the link below ! www.asha.org/form/contact-asha/ Please keep me posted on what they share with you ! Good luck !
Absolutely ! My undergraduate degree is in broadcast journalism which is not related to SLP at all . However, some programs only require students to take leveling courses while in the graduate program or before starting the graduate program .
cla.auburn.edu/communicationdisorders/speech-language-pathology/future-students/ Here’s an example ! Read the section labeled “coursework requirements for those without a degree in CSD”
Hi girl! What travel company did you sign with ? What were the pros/cons of becoming a travel SLP? I’m trying to figure out what setting/company to go with…
Hey ! I used Stepping Stones group ! The pros is definitely the pay ! However the huge con is a facility may not have the expected workload for you and there’s a possibility they can call you off (then you won’t get paid) or cancel the contract at anytime 🥴 But you can always try to negotiate your contract .
@@TSlater_Okay perfect! Thank you so much, I start my CFY in August and I am trying to find out the best company for me. I love your videos, you are so helpful!
thank you for your video!! this was so informative!! I am in the process of applying to grad school! where did you go to grad school and how was your experience in that program? 🤍
Congratulations for starting the process of applying to graduate school ! I went to Armstrong State in Savannah, GA . I absolutely loved it . I had 19 other women in my cohort . The department’s staff was extremely knowledgeable with a ton of experience !
I’ve been making 6 figures as an SLP for over 10 years. You find the fit and grind.

I've decided to switch my major to CSD but I've been super nervous about applying to grad school for SLP. I've heard how difficult and competitive it is. Do you think someone with a 3.6 has a chance to get accepted into a master's program? I just don't want to get rejected from all of the schools I apply to and have no backup plan. But this really is my dream.
So happy to hear you are applying to graduate school to become a speech-language pathologist ! I believe with a 3.6 you do have a chance of getting accepted into a master's program. I was rejected the first year I decided to apply for the master's program. The second time I applied, I decided to apply to twice as many schools as I did the first time. I was wait listed at two schools, then eventually both schools offered me an acceptance letter. My greatest piece of advice for you is to apply to as many schools as possible. You may have to apply to schools that are out of state as well. I am rooting for you. Please keep me posted on your journey and let me know if you need anything else Sarah !
@@TSlater_ Thank you for being so kind and helpful💓💓
@@sarahtorres6925 you’re more than welcome !
What about insurance? Have you had difficulty getting insurance as a full time employee?
Luckily, my PRN job only provides medical insurance . I have to pay for dental work out of pocket though . And I don’t need vision .
question: Aren't travel SLP jobs for about 18 weeks at a time? How did you keep 2 PRN jobs while away?
Most travel positions are 13 weeks long . However you can find some travel positions that are shorter or longer . My travel position required me to work 4 ten hour days . So I worked Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. My off days were Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday . So I would usually work my PRN jobs on Saturdays and Sundays .
This was so helpful! Do you know an approximate of how many hours a week you were working?
I worked between 40 - 50 hours a week !
I did my BA and MA in Linguistics from Bangladesh. Now i want to do a masters in SLP in USA.
Is it a good decision for me ??
hey! thanks for the video. i am applying to colleges, interested in speech language pathology right now. i love helping people and the variety in settings however science was definitely not my strong point in high school. is it still possible to do well and enjoy school with the heavy science content? thanks!!
Absolutely ! Your passion for science will grow because it will allow you to better serve your future patients !
GOOD LUCK !
I'm a certified teacher in Nigeria
I want to change my career to speech pathology
Please can you recommend an online program I can do
Thank you
Hi ! Here is a website that has a list of online SLP programs ! Let me know which one(s) you decide to apply to. speechpathologymastersprograms.com/
Hay quá
How many clinics would you need to get close to 7 figures?
That is a great question Vernon; however, I do not have the answer .
I only have an AA, sped cert, & trying to find an undergraduate program that would be relevant to SLP. I’m currently an RBT, was going for teaching, but not for me. I’m worried about my gpa currently from cc, so I also need to bring my grades up through my future bachelor program and then try to apply for communication disorder/slp graduate program. Im so far away, it’s my dream job but just stressing about the obstacles.
Uh Manoa in Hawaii is pretty hard to get into for grad school. Do you think an online masters degree would be of worth?
Hi Marissa ! So happy to hear about your desire to become a speech-language pathologist ! You can do it !
An online communication science and disorders program is perfect ! There are quite a few of universities that offer the program . I included the link below . find.asha.org/ed/#sort=relevancy
Thank you so much! You’re awesome!

Hi I’m in my fourth year of getting my Bachelor’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders.
I really am worried about graduate school! What GPA do they want and what extracurriculars and work experience? My cumulative GPA right now is 3.8 and I could try to improve it but do you think I have a chance with the GPA I have now?
Hi ! Congratulations for making it to your four year of the CSD program . That’s definitely a huge accomplishment . Each school has different requirements for their program . I was accepted into graduate school and I also had a 3.8 GPA . I definitely do think you have a fair chance of being accepted . Apply to as many schools as possible . I was wait listed for all the programs I applied to, then I was finally offered an acceptance into two of them ! Good luck ! Keep me posted ! I’m rooting for you !
That’s awesome. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll keep you updated. By the way, I’m a new sub. 😊
@@TheEverythingYoville Great ! Please do !

Hey, I'm from India and done with my Master's degree in SLP,
Do u think my chances are good to aim for a job at US for should I do my Master's degree again in US to get to know the system better and increase my chances of job.
I want to work in US.. Plz do suggest
Hey ! Congratulations for completing your Master’s degree ! Definitely a huge accomplishment !
My best advice would be to contact the American Speech-Language Association to get clarification on the necessary next steps to work as a SLP in the USA.
I have included the link below !

Please keep me posted on what they share with you !
Good luck !
@@TSlater_ Thank you, I will update you with the same
What if you traveled to another state, and your PRN job needed you?
Where did you study?? and how long did it take.
I obtained my master’s degree in Georgia. It took two years to complete my master’s degree!
If you're comfortable sharing, what area in the US did you make 6-figures?
I live in Georgia !
So how many hours a week were you working?
I worked 40 hours full time a week ! And then I worked between 10 - 20 hours PRN a week !
I’m an anthropology culture major, do you think I can get accepted to graduate programs?
Absolutely ! My undergraduate degree is in broadcast journalism which is not related to SLP at all . However, some programs only require students to take leveling courses while in the graduate program or before starting the graduate program .
cla.auburn.edu/communicationdisorders/speech-language-pathology/future-students/
Here’s an example ! Read the section labeled “coursework requirements for those without a degree in CSD”
Please I did certificate in healthcare, am I qualified as a speech psychologist? Thanks for sharing
What is a prn
PRN means “as needed.” So you basically get to pick when you want to work which is so nice !
If you don’t mind sharing, how much did you make a month on average?
On average, I made ~$8,500 a month
I am currently 2nd year undergrad what will be an average worth after 4 year undergraduate degree?
Where are you located
I work in Georgia !
I'm in Georgia also. I graduate with my MS next month!!!
What state are you in?
Hi girl! What travel company did you sign with ? What were the pros/cons of becoming a travel SLP? I’m trying to figure out what setting/company to go with…
Hey ! I used Stepping Stones group ! The pros is definitely the pay ! However the huge con is a facility may not have the expected workload for you and there’s a possibility they can call you off (then you won’t get paid) or cancel the contract at anytime 🥴 But you can always try to negotiate your contract .
@@TSlater_Okay perfect! Thank you so much, I start my CFY in August and I am trying to find out the best company for me. I love your videos, you are so helpful!
@@lexmartinez4291 You are going to impact a lot of lives ! You got this !
thank you for your video!! this was so informative!! I am in the process of applying to grad school! where did you go to grad school and how was your experience in that program? 🤍
Congratulations for starting the process of applying to graduate school ! I went to Armstrong State in Savannah, GA . I absolutely loved it . I had 19 other women in my cohort . The department’s staff was extremely knowledgeable with a ton of experience !
This is so encouraging, so glad I came across this video! Thanks for this🫶🏾
You’re more than welcome ! Let me know if you have any questions girly !
