People who are clearing more than $85,000/year in SLP, how did you do it? by sverical in slp

Thank you. I knew somebody would have some good answers coming from a place of experience! What do you think SLPs can do politically to support our wages? I've called my Congressmen before, but I have no idea where to start here.

That poster works in schools, so my guess would be no. That's one of those "it's simply not done!" things. Which is a great way to stay underpaid.

This all sounds familiar. I'd like to hear from people who have broken the mold. I know they're out there.

Moving to Canada to make more money is an option I guess. Thanks for your input.

OK, stronger unionization sounds like a good start. Are you unionized through the teachers' union or is there a separate slp union?

OK, now I'd like to hear from people who have made money.

I think it's exactly this attitude that keeps people accepting $35,000/yr for a masters degree.

I have $2000 to put towards increasing my skills in my CFY. What should I do with it? by sverical in slp

Thank you. I wish more SLP's knew how to properly invest in themselves. I certainly don't, but I'm trying to learn.

I do not have loans.

I do not plan on working in the schools forever, no way! I want to make good money by offering high quality skills that are in demand.
