Speech Pathologist

Duties and responsibilities:

   Speech-language pathologists (sometimes called speech therapists) assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent communication and swallowing disorders in patients. Speech, language, and swallowing disorders result from a variety of causes, such as a stroke, brain injury, hearing loss, developmental delay, a cleft palate, cerebral palsy, or emotional problems.

Salary: $69,870

Education:

  Speech-language pathologists must be licensed in almost all states. A license requires at least a master’s degree and supervised clinical experience. Some states require graduation from an accredited master’s program to get a license.

Reflection:

I think I wouldn't want to be a speech pathologist because I don’t find it much interesting that’s my opinion.
