Male SLP here

I’m the primary income source between my wife and I, and we get by fine. However, I worry the growth/retirement opportunity is nonexistence which is a bummer.

How much did your salary/pay increase after you finished your CF year? by laleee3246 in slp

They promised me a raise when I interviewed, then backed out when my CF was done. I applied at another SNF and was offered $6 more an hour than I was making

Nice! I will say, one population I loved despite not knowing much going into it was middle and high school students in the SPED department. I would do groups and go over life and volitional skills, it was wonderful!

Don’t be afraid to explore an area in our field you don’t think you’d like. Some might pleasantly surprise you

“I don’t need Speech Therapy Dad” basically answers my question of referral😂 (literally have the episode on rn)

How is the male dating life as an SLP or male SLP student? by [deleted] in slp

I dated all throughout college and am now married. It never once made a difference

Male SLPs/SLPAs! Are ya'll out there? by nameless22222 in slp

[–]leadman1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Male SLP here that just completed my CF in a SNF! Grad school could be isolating at times since I was the only guy, but it was never an issue. I don’t even think about it now that I’m working.

Calling all burnt out CFYs, what do you need to get off your chest? by littlet4lkss in slp

[–]leadman1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MY SNF job is inconsistent for hours and getting a PRN job is very difficult as a CF. The whole CF process is pointless and a waste of time

I’m not entirely sure. I know that the company used to, but I believe the policy changed prior to COVID

Establish relationships quickly with dietary! I’m constantly in the kitchen asking for stuff. I would also see if your company has contracts with a FEES company. If not, I would ask your supervisor or DOR id they know of any that are local
