most of my afternoon was spent poring over research articles and making flashcards, then i took the time in the evening to relax - i think iād earned it!

Speech-Language Pathology (sorry for the novel- I'm just really passionate about linguistics and SLP)
Hey, so Iāve seen some posts about jobs/applications of linguistics on a few different linguistics blogs now. One field I think many people donāt consider is speech-language pathology. Granted, itās an entirely different degree; however, I was fortunate enough to attend a school that allowed me to get a bachelors in both linguistics and speech-language pathology. SLP deals a lot more with treating language and speech issues, but still requires a vast background knowing about language.
In undergrad, half of my linguistics courses and SLP courses were cross-listed/the exact same class. So getting an extra bachelors took just one extra semester and was very manageable. Often what I was learning in one class was reinforced in another. If Iām being 100% honest, linguistics is my passion. I could study nothing but languages for the rest of my life and be totally happy. However, another one of my passions is being able to help people and make a difference in their lives. And thatās where SLP comes in.Ā
Almost everyone (that Iāve met) in the SLP field has pretty much stuck to SLP/communication sciences and disorders (aka CSD), and will know a lot about language acquisition, articulation, various disorders, etcetera. However, having a linguistics degree/background (like I do) has provided a whole different level of depth to my understanding of the SLP field. Having studied phonology, syntax, and language change in not only English (my native tongue), but in also other languages, has given me insight to working with my clients that a lot of my peers donāt have. Often, CSD focuses on the language you plan on working with (in my case, English) and doesnāt always look at language as a whole. Like, why does /t/ become a glottal stop at the end of the word? Well, when youāve taken a semester of phonology as a linguistics major, itās easier to see and notice subtle nuances that most individuals in the field just donāt recognize. Having a background in linguistics has been nothing but beneficial to me in this field.
Speech-language pathology is a growing field (itās still relatively new, compared to a lot of other fields), and it offers a TON of different opportunities. As a clinician, a speech pathologist can literally work with a person from the time theyāre born (literally as an infant) all the way up until a person is on their deathbed. Granted, most people pick a certain specialty to focus on (e.g., stuttering, aphasia, autism, accent reduction, etc.), thereās always the opportunity to change things up and start working with a different population- that way, you never get bored. Currently, Iām working with a 3 year old and a 47 year old. So, as you can imagine, my therapy is very different. Not only is each day a new day with that client, but one day Iām crawling on the floor laughing and singing, and the next Iām working with a gentlemen on spelling his kidsā names.
With your bachelor degree in SLP, you can work as a speech-language pathology assistant (and it pays pretty well). With your masters degree (a couple more years of schooling and passing a national certification exam) you can do anything from work in a hospital, a school, or own your own private practice. Like I said, the possibilities are limitless.Ā
All in all, Iāve seen such improvements in my clients. Iāve laughed with them, Iāve cried with them. Iāve had parents thank me while wiping the tears away from their eyes because their child has accomplished things they were once told they would never be able to accomplish something.
This field has been tremendously rewarding. I wake up every day looking forward to the differences I can make in another personās life, another personās language. As linguists, Iām sure we all recognize the vital role that language and communication plays in our day-to-day lives. As a speech pathologist, you get to help improve the quality of life for others via language and their communication.Ā
I would highly, highly encourage anyone looking for a job/career path thatās passionate about languages to look more into speech-language pathology. Not only does one get to apply something theyāre passionate about (i.e., language), but thereās an opportunity to make a difference- even if itās just in one personās life. And the field is constantly growing, with tons of different opportunities out there, across the entire spectrum of a personās lifespan.Ā
TL;DR- If you love linguistics and also want a nice paying job, you should really look into speech-language pathology.Ā

I had my first class of the semester today and met a friend for lunch beforehand. Took a break afterwards then headed to the library to do some printing and finished reading over lecture slides for Thursday.
100 Days of Productivity #4 - Day 61/100
September 28, 2018
Holiday mode has been activated! I started off the break by reading almost half of Oscar Wildeās The Picture of Dorian Gray (which is absolutely brilliant so far!) Iām finding it much easier to get into than a lot of the other classics Iāve read.
I am very ready for the next few days of eating, sleeping, reading (and the occasional social interaction.) Holiday mode is the best mode.

Had class from 10-4 today and stayed back in the library to finish an assignment. Got back around 7 and made a stir fry. It was great. Future me please remember this recipe.
