Is it hard to get the degree to be one?

In 2005, 47 States required speech-language pathologists to be licensed if they worked in a health care setting, and all States required a master’s degree or equivalent. A passing score on the national examination on speech-language pathology, offered through the Praxis Series of the Educational Testing Service, is needed as well. Other requirements typically are 300 to 375 hours of supervised clinical experience and 9 months of postgraduate professional clinical experience. \n\nSpeech-language pathologists usually work at a desk or table in clean comfortable surroundings. In medical settings, they may work at the patient’s bedside and assist in positioning the patient. In school settings they may work with students in an office or classroom. Some deliver services in the client’s home. While the job is not physically demanding, it requires attention to detail and intense concentration. The emotional needs of clients and their families may be demanding. \n\nSpeech-language pathologists held about 96,000 jobs in 2004. About half were employed in educational services, primarily in preschools and elementary and secondary schools.\n\nEmployment of speech-language pathologists is expected to grow about 9 - 17% for all occupations through the year 2014.

Not specifically but a University will require a decent academic standard to admit you onto a legal degree.\n\nHave a look at the entrance requirements for legal courses at some universities and see what is required in terms of academic qualifications.\n\nGood luck.

Its a whole lot like a business degree, it doesnt mean very much. The jobs where you would think it would count the most dont really care if you have one. Take police, for example. That job is experienced based, and tho it counts a bit (in that it will give you an edge over someone who doesnt have one) they need so many people that it wont matter in the long run and in the end the knowledge you get in the Academy is much more important than class-room learning. Keep in mind, any degree is good... very few people actually end up doing what they went to school for, and companies who care about college degrees generally do so becuase of what the degree SYMBOLIZES (perseverance, desire to learn, punctuality, etc.) much more than what that little peice of paper says. Hope this helps

A degree might help him get knowledge, but experience is what he needs. There are a lot of books that he can read to learn how to do this. You dont need a college degree to repair computers and to start your own business. You only need a degree if you want to work for a company or for somebody else.

The most difficult thing about attending school in the USA is the peer pressure to do other things besides the actual schoolwork.  If you can overcome that, the schools are excellent and you should have no trouble getting a degree.  If you'd rather go out with your friends and drink, versus study for that exam, then your grades will likely reflect that choice.

Having a felony conviction on your record will no doubt make it harder to get many jobs - particularly in large companies with strict human resouces policies and procedures.  And you have almost no chance at jobs that require a license (like a lawyer) or bonding (like a banker).  But there are many other fields dominated by smaller companies that may never even ask the question and even if they do may not care as much after you've proven yourself somewhat by getting your degree.  Plus there are really good reasons for going to college - like making yourself a better person and able to live a fuller life - other than just having a good career.  And there's always the chance you'll fall in love at school, get married and stay home and raise the kids while your spouse goes out and makes the money!

I don't think you are going to have much luck without the schooling and this field is very hard to get into. I checked into it some 25 years ago and the guy I was talking to said that most of the time you end up having to take a job as a DJ in some small remote area in order to get some time under your belt and build a name for yourself and then try to apply with a larger radio station, but good luck anyway.

There are usually certain requirements that need to be met. You can find out about some of them from your state department of education or board of regents for colleges. You can't simply start your own college and give yourself degrees without paying tuition, though. Ask them about something called accreditation.

Yes, absolutely. I know many students who've got a bachlors degree in one subject and a master's in something else. I'm going to do the same. Best of luck to you. =>

It can't hurt...but it's all in what you study and how you apply it.  I once met a man with a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology driving a cab.  And I have met very successful corporate CEO's who never finished a bachelor's degree... although these are rare cases.\n\nFor the average person on the street... if you want a white collar professional job with opportunity for advancement, yes, you really do need to have at least a bachelor's degree in today's job market.  Educate yourself to be a productive and competitive worker, and keep refreshing your education every few years to stay current.  The fact that our labor force in the US is badly under-educated is a big part of the reason why our jobs are going to Bagalore. \n\nBeyond that, graduate degrees are worthwhile, but only if you are properly motivated and focused on realistic career goals, so I think most people are better off waiting and working for a few years before going back to grad school so they don't waste their degrees.

A degree is always helpful...especially in English. A command of the English language can lead to many professions...as well as giving you proper tools to always be understood. For journalism, just add a couple of writing courses to introduce you to style and concept. Also...with a vivid imagination you can become a writer or novelist.

Simply put, no... it will not be recognized to the same degree that a 'real' bachelor's degree will be.  Many positions that requires a BS/BA will not even consider you for employment, that doesn't mean that none will; just that most won't.  Online degree's overall are looked upon as lessor than a degree given at a physical institution. (a degree for life experience would be even more so)  This doesn't mean that the education is bad, but some online school's have... questionable practices when it comes to issuing diploma's and degree's... this carries over to all of the legitimate online schools and the effect is the same; online degrees are less valuable and often looked down upon when it comes to real life employment.  Especially when it comes to sciences, psychology included.

not many but it will shorten your time getting the BS degree and now with the way things are going you will need a freeking Masters and by the time you get that you will need a freeking doctorate.  That's what happened to me, lol.  Good luck

That sounds a bit illegal to me, why would you want a degree you didn't earn?

I'm not one, but I've heard it takes lots of hard work and studying to become one.  They also make TONS of money but remember, it's your responsibility to make sure people wake up after surgery, so it may be a stressful job.  Good luck.

It really hard to become one.. the schools are extreemly competitive, you have no time for a social life while learning - and when you get out, your not guaranteed a job.  When you do get a job you get crappy pay for the first 5 years while you get all your hours of experience.. but after that, the salary is really good.
