SLPA while in grad school

[phinale123]

Has anyone worked as a SLPA while in grad school. If so, were you able to handle both work and grad school? I think its great idea to cover expenses for grad school but Im scared the work load and stress would be too much.

I'm a SLPA and just started grad school (online). If you're a distance ed student, it can be done but you won't have much of a life outside of work and school. Once internships start, you won't be able to work FT though--if at all--because you'll have to be at your fieldwork site at least 2 days a week. I don't start internships until Jan but I'm already feeling overwhelmed with job + grad school so I will be transferring clients/cutting back hours over the next month. The nice thing about working at a clinic (at least where I work) is that your schedule is up to you so you can take on whatever size caseload/hours work for you.
