I chatted with another SLPA years ago, but stopped because she was annoying.
SLPAs, am I right?
I reached out more recently and after starting my previous thread, two SLPs messaged me, so I think that I will trade her in for the upgraded models.
A Facebook moderator claimed that he made $79,000 part-time and never talked to an SLPA who earned less than $50,000, but he must be extremely selective to who he considers he has met.
SLPAs, am I right?
In his very group, I found these:

I made $37 an hour 1099 at a private company but working in school setting.

I looked at 10 postings on Indeed and the
Arizona education Employment Board.
On Sunday, I found one school job that offered $54,000 and two that advertised $50,000.
Anyway, the SLPA who claims she is changing jobs for double the pay said that she is going from 32 hours a week to 20.
I have seen many places show 32 hours a week.
I have rarely seen 40, so I wouldn't count on that unless stated--on a contract.
$37 hourly for 6.4 hours for 186 days = $44,044.80, but
ViewTheNumbers says that is the equivalent of $25,679 W-2.
I don't have any idea how many hours he considered to be "Part-time," but people in that conversation say that you can make $50 doing home health, and that is my agency's rate.
If you assume 50 weeks a year, he averaged 31.6 hours a week, which is technically part-time, but even if your clients were only 15 minutes apart, which I doubt, if you managed to see 6.32 a day, that would still be 15 minutes to the first and last, then 15 x 4-5, so 90-105 minutes a day, which sure sounds like 8 hours, plus 6.32 session notes a day, and dozens of progress reports every quarter.
Also, According to ViewTheNumbers, that is the same as $51,275 W-2.
Someone mentioned all of the deductions that we have each year, but having many deductions every year I have always tried to get a good W-2 job.
So, let's get back to the first SLPA's calculus.
This was infuriating to get. She mentioned the new job came out of nowhere, I asked her a completely unrelated question, and she didn't answer it, she just wrote this, which didn't have anything to do with anything.
It seems like every time she tells me anything I need to ask a clarifying question because this lady who professionally teaches people to communicate never communicates well.
It also seems like she only answers half of my questions, but she says that her current commute is 7 minutes, although it wasn't clear if that was round-trip or each way.
I asked and she didn't answer.
She lives in Queen Creek and the new job is in Coolidge, which as far as I know is another 24 miles away.
I am going to guess that she doesn't conservatively drive a compact Japanese vehicle.
Google Bard says "The average cost per mile driven in the US is around $0.65, which includes gas, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation," which is in-line with what the IRS says--and we aren't assuming she is an Ecomodder.
We are giving her the benefit of the doubt that she is average!
However, the A.I. then ruins everything by claiming "For a 35-minute commute (assuming a round trip), this could translate to roughly $7.87 per day."
Everybody knows that would only be about 12 miles roundtrip!
48 x .65¢ = $31.20
With 186 school days a year, that adds up to $5,803.20.
The fun part is that she didn't originally say that it was $7,000 more, she said that it was $55,000, double what she is currently making.
I have seen jobs that only paid around $27,500. I am sorry she felt desperate enough to--then she mentioned $7,000 more.
She is making $48,000?
[parsing error]
She also said that she now works 10 months a year instead of 12, but undoubtedly it is the same number of days, and still doesn't make $55,000 twice $48,000.
Twenty hours a week plus an extra 6 hours of driving should still be 6 hours a week less than 32 (which she claimed was full-time), but that additional $7,000 becomes $1,200 when you take into account vehicle costs.
Would you rather drive 10 times as much if you were able to spend another 72 minutes at home every day?
