I need advice. I'm 36. I'm a licensed speech-language pathologist. I hold a B.S. and an M.S. I've been working in a hospital setting for the past year, but I have 7 total years of experience working in various settings like nursing homes, home health, and Early Intervention (0-3 population.) I do not have direct management experience. Before college, I worked mostly retail jobs and have sales experience. I was pre-law in college. I chose speech for grad school last minute because I was guaranteed a job after graduation. It's true that i have never had difficulty finding a job. Here's my problem. I hate speech therapy. I've always hated it. I hated it during clinicals in graduate school. I hate it from the moment I walk into work to the moment I leave. This healthcare profession is majorly wearing on my mental health. I'm an introvert. I'm also extremely empathetic. I've tried every setting (adults/geratric, kids, teens), and I still hate it. I have to talk to people all day. It's mentally exhausting. I'm exposed to sick people and dying people daily, and it's causing mental burnout. Most stroke victims are very depressed and in significant physical pain. I've sought therapy about it. My therapist was of mind that, "life is short. quit." I have credit card debt. I also have significant student loan debt. The credit card debt is because I took a gap year last year. I was so burnt out, I just ran up credit cards and stayed home for 7 straight months. I applied to multiple places. Doctor's office administrator. Insurance jobs. State jobs. Managing a local gas station. I've scoured LinkedIn. It's extremely difficult to get called for an interview that is not speech. When I do get called in, I don't get called back. I talked to two SLPS that successfully transitioned into tech. One is now in UX Design and one went through a Bootcamp and successfully moved into a software engineering role. I'm signed onto "Free Code Camp," but I've researched that IT Bootcamps cannot always give you the skills you need for a tech engineering role. Sometimes they can get you hired... but sometimes you also get fired pretty quickly due to lacking real world skills. I just don't know where to go from here. I'm afraid to invest a ton of time and money in a Bootcamp, and remain in the same place I am now. I don't know how to get out of speech therapy. I can't just go work a job at Starbucks. (It wouldn't pay my rent). I just need advice. Is it too late to try to transition into tech? Are there other roles possible for me? I've heard about insurance review jobs that you can perform remotely. I'd LOVE that, but I hear only nurses fill those roles now. I also would like a job with more upward financial mobility. Wage-wise speech is stagnant. Sorry this is long. Writing all of this out has been cathartic. Thanks for any insight.
