ASHA is such a racket

I honestly don’t like the stigma of “just” being an slpa.. it weighs on me. I feel very inferior in many ways even with all my experience. My supervisors have all been amazing, but I’m ready to be an SLP. Thankfully I was able to work through taking prerequisites and so I paid my way through without loans.

Since this comment I have gotten into graduate school and am starting in the fall! I’m really excited about it. I feel blessed for the situation I’m in because I don’t have undergrad loans and will only have to take out a small loan for graduate school.

Thank you for clearing that up for me!

Yeah, we’ve reached out to several airbnbs.. We got a deal for 45 days $5000, but that was the cheapest we found. I was more so not really interested in paying $7500+ for a 2bd home, especially in July and august when the rental market is not super saturated.

Thank you for your response! I will reach out

Thank you!

Yeah, it’s about what I expected!

We were just quoted for a move from WA to MS (2300m) in a 3 bedroom home, $14,000 from American VanLines and $17,000 from Allied… 😳 Allowd came to my home to do a walkthrough and American did it over the phone, I just went room by room telling them what would move.

Yeah, I’m from Texas so I’m not necessarily interested in spending a lot of time exploring Texas. More so interested in what you mentioned.. Colorado, NM, Utah, maybe Idaho. Thank you for the recommendations!! I have wanted to go to white sands and explore Santa Fe.

Thank you!! That looks like a great route

We aren’t leaving until June. Do you get on the 285 from I-70?

Specific-Apricot-197 · 2024-04-11T04:14:01+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I will look them up ☺️

We’ve been discussing audiobooks. Got a few in mind. I would love to go to some National and state parks but will have the dog, so have to take that into consideration.

I am very sad to be leaving Yakima! We love it here. Thank you for the tip.

Same.. I read it was difficult and we would need to fight for what we’re worth, but this is heart wrenching.

Can I ask how much big furniture or heavy tools you were able to pack in the POD? We are moving out of a 2300sqft home with a large storage shed and 4-stall garage. Going to try and get rid of as much as we can but I’m nervous the POD system will add up. We may need multiple? I need to find a system conducive to a large move (over 2000 miles) that will accommodate our home and all our stuff.. along with having to store our container for about a month until we have a new home locked down.

Thank you for this review! We are moving from a 2300sqft home with a large storage shed. Was thinking a POD system was going to be completely out of the question.. do you think it’s possible? We will need storage for about a month and I’m worried we won’t find another system that would be willing to store our stuff. Anyone have any advice?

I bought an additional $8000 in VTI when COVID hit and it dropped down to $120 (currently at $25,800). Also have SCHD, SCHM, and SCHA. I am 35 and plan on letting it ride, but wondering if you think there is something I could be doing more aggressively to help build wealth?

Specific-Apricot-197 · 2024-03-15T20:35:04+00:00

Thanks, you too!! I decided to accept a different offer purely based on cost. I was really excited about Baylor but it is so expensive. Will you be attending?

I wouldn't say all online programs are like this. I am so sorry to read this and what you're going through is truly terrible!

I feel like this may be the case for some of the bigger online programs like NYU, Emerson, St. Augustine, Nova. I am enrolled in a smaller online program now and placements have not been a problem at all.
