I had a big presentation for my research project last week and I have two projects related to that due tonight.
Last night I had two assignments and a project due for the same class, having had a final for that class.
The only final I passed was just a quiz, it was open notes, and I had two chances.
I just don't remember whatever the professor said up to 10 weeks ago and I can't commit it to memory in a couple of hours.
The last one had many questions that were on the quizzes and I reviewed the quizzes a few times before the test, but the questions were just familiar, I didn't have any idea what the answer was.
I didn't complete one assignment due last night and it was supposed to involve 4 hours of virtual observations.
Get this, I have seen school SLP jobs in the Phoenix area starting at $80,000, but there is a higher percentage of male Occupational Therapists--and OTs make a few thousand more a year.
There are even more male Physical Therapists and they are paid a few thousand more than OTs.
Correlation is not causation, but two days after my presentation, I read that the female workforce participation increased by 70% between 1950 and 1990.
Many of those women chose
violence therapy and the percentages never shifted back.
Maybe more women chose speech and fewer women chose physical therapy.
Maybe fewer men chose speech because there were fewer men and less pay--and then it gets worse and worse.
Should I try to recruit men to this sinking ship or recommend they pursue something that pays better like PT or programming?
I read this while cramming: "What radiation safety procedures should be taken by the clinician during a VFSS? (Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study)
Wears a thyroid shield, lead apron, protective glasses, protective gloves, and a dosimetry badge."
I can still do radiation!
What do the goggles do?!
Anyway, I have less than an hour to submit that assignment which is supposed to take at least 4 hours before it is two days late.
Go go gadget ADHD!
