Hi! I have a story very similar to yours where on m year after graduating with my BA in Linguistics, I decided to go into teaching while obtaining my MA in SPED. I am in limbo right now between finishing out my degree in SPED or leave the program and start taking pre-req programs in Speech. I am wondering, how did the SPED background (MA) work for you when you applied to Grad programs? Did you get in? Was SPED helpful in getting in or was it not as important? This would help me so much. Thanks.
