I'm a speech-language pathologist but interested in changing careers. Any ideas on what else I could do?

Answer 1

How about a voice over coach.

Answer 2

First, kudos to you for your accomplishment of being a speech-language pathologist ... not an easy discipline by any stretch.

Depending on what you're currently doing in that field, it may be easy for you to transition into i) teaching, ii) consulting, iii) researching, iv) managing a clinical program, v) training other speech-language pathology assistants, vi) providing in-service workshops to teachers, etc.

Although I do not know much about the particulars required for a degree in your discipline, I imagine you have taken courses in language, sciences (medical also), psychology, and possibly assessments (test and measurements).  As such, if one of the sub-sets of your degree appeals to you more than another (e.g., Psychology), then it may make sense to reflect on a transition toward that particular discipline ... like being a counselor for families and loved ones who are assisting someone who needs speech-language services (tramautic brain injury patients or even dementia and Alzheimers patients).

On the other hand, you can simply do a 180 and put career and wage-earning on hold for a spell and travel to that exotic land you've always dreamed about but never had the time to actually go ... good luck!
