Hello all,
I’m currently an active duty Infantry Officer in the Army looking to make the transition to a SLP career after the next year. My undergrad is in history so I am coming from out of field. I have a very established life (kids, mortgage, pets, car payments, etc...) that requires money to sustain. I’m giving up a 6 figure salary to change my families lifestyle, does anyone have any experience working while going to school for their MS-SLP? If so what programs did you use? Online vs traditional? We are geographically tied to the Clarksville, TN area so the only traditional programs around are Vanderbilt (not happening), TSU, and WKU. My wife is an SLP and will be able to work full time (She’s been part time while I’ve been in the army). I’d love to make this transition, the idea of working in the same field as my wife, helping people, and the potential to open our own business someday is very appealing. Any advice or prior success/failure stories is appreciated. Thanks!
