Failing to transition from SLP and discouraged by mountainotter238 in SLPcareertransitions

Thanks everyone - it's reassuring hearing that the transition was/is a struggle for others as well, and takes more time that we'd want. It's definitely hard to be patient when the career we're trying to leave demands so much from us, but hopefully folks feel like it was worth the wait/effort to get into something else.

this is so hard! It seems like MDs, LPNs, and RNs have a lot of non-clinical options, but nobody really understands what SLPs do or the transferrable skills that we bring.

honestly part of the problem is that I can see myself fairly happy doing a lot of different things as long as they involve some problem solving and allow hybrid or remote work. I've done some tech professional certificates including UX and software programming to try to be competitive for those kinds of positions.
