Work in a school now, experience in rehab as well. 1. Never ever take work home, but that's just my personality anyway. I work with plenty of SLPs who take work home, but that's not for me. Contractually my work week is 38 hours. How late I stay depends on the work I have at the time (meetings run late, finishing an eval, etc.). 2. I live close to Manhattan, in a very saturated job market. I know I would have had an easier time finding a job had I moved out of the area, however I still found a full time job 3 months after graduation. 100% of my cohort had jobs within 6 months, all stayed in NY/NJ/CT. 3. The thing I hate about schools is you can often end up seeing someone for years. In a SNF you could see someone for 1 day or 60 days. Much more variability in that arena. 4. I'm paid on the teacher salary guide. When I started, I was step 2 masters... I could have negotiated to masters plus 15 or 30 but wound up not doing that for a few reasons. 5. I honestly hate having to live within compliance of an IEP. It offers zero flexibility... Goals are set for a year, individual vs group therapy has to be set, once again for a year, and should something come up (as it often does) and a change needs to be made, the process of amending an IEP can get sticky. That and I don't like being treated like a teacher when my role differs, in some aspects, quite drastically. 6. Nothing tedious comes to mind. Maybe a bad session happens, but nothing really tedious. 7. My CF supervisor was awesome. For the most part I've never really been in an environment where there wasn't at least one person who wanted to help, even if that's outside your discipline.
