Career Options with a CDS Bachelor's Degree


Recommended Posts

SLP-A if you can find a state that does have SLP-A's. I have worked in Montana as one for the past 5 years.

Behavioral Specialist

Child Development

Preschool

However, all of this is going to depend on where you live and the qualification in your state. If you are considering going to grad school, I would look for an SLP-A position.

In addition to the above, newborn hearing screener (I know this is SLP but you are probably at least familiar with audiology too!), and research assistant for otolaryngology and other medical research labs/hospitals. If you have any office/administrative experience, you could work in an ENT/SLP/audiology practice or department.

Thanks guys! Are these jobs well paid?

I am not sure about the others, but I am on the teacher's pay scale. I have heard of SLP-A's only getting paid at the para-educator level. It's going to depend on the state and school district budget.

I work as a behavior specialist and the pay is not good. Most of the jobs listed above you can't really make a living out of. If you don't do grad school, I would recommend choosing an alternative career that pays higher because with just a CSD bachelors it is hard to make a living (at least where I am from)

I live in tx and im an slp assistant. I started out at a beginning teacher rate, 0 years experience.  Hope that helps.

If you are into audiology, being a hearing aid dispenser is an option (depending on your location.) In CA, you need to obtain licensure through an exam
