hi everyone! I currently am a respiratory therapist and have been working for the past 2 years. I have tried everything from hospital setting, DME, SNF, to even having a remote job (which is very rare).
No matter what job I've had, I've come to the realization I am not passionate about what I do and dread work everyday. RT has been too stressful of a career for me due to how much pressure it is to take care of someone's life (if that makes sense) and because there are not openings where I live. I find myself wanting to be in the medical field still, but have less direct patient care. I have been considering going back to school for SLPA and hopefully head into SLP, but I don't want to make the same mistake I did with respiratory.
In the area I'm in, there are plenty of school positions open and positions in nearby major hospitals.
How do I figure out if this would be a good career path for me?
Thank you!
