Speech Pathologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Speech language pathologists work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults. Social communication disorders occur when a person has trouble with the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication.

Salary: The median annual salary is 73,410 USD

Education: Earn a Bachelor's Degree. There is no specific undergraduate major required to become a speech language pathologist. However, a degree in communications or speech and hearing sciences might be most pertinent for a career in speech therapy.

Demand for this particular career: Employment of speech language pathologists is projected to grow 18 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the large baby boom population grows older, there will be more instances of health conditions that can cause speech or language impairments, such as strokes or dementia.

Reflection: No, I wouldn't want to be a speech therapist because it doesn't interest me.

''If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail'' by Lou Holtz If I always do what's right with out people telling me or reminding me then that makes me look mature and makes me gain peoples trust.

''Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly''  by Otto Graham, Jr. When you know something is wrong then you shouldn't do it even if you think it will benefit you. For example the video of the homeless man shows that you should do the right no matter what because if he would have exchanged the ring for 4 thousand dollars it wouldn't have been worth it because instead the kept the ring and the lady that owned it helped him get money because people wanted to donate. He also found his family and got reunited with them after 16 years and in my opinion that's way better than 4 thousand dollars. Every human being should know the difference between right or wrong. So whenever were in a situation when were tested to do the right then you should just do it. Because something great may come out of it. Making the right choices makes you feel good about yourself because you know that you could have done the wrong but you were being a smart person.
