Why life why!!

So I'm going through yet another

WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE@@ Phase...

I'm just not enjoying theater/acting any more and can't see the fight that it takes to get any sort of role as worth it when, once I get a role, I don't like the work to character build any more.

So while I'm going to continue trying for the time being (I'm giving my self 6 ( Read more... )

work, hope, life, dreams, career

with speech pathology you can work in either a school, clinic or hospital setting
school is children, and clinic/hospital is a lot of elderly (people who have had strokes and such
oh! and in the hospital you might work with very little babies because since your concentration is on the mouth and vocal tract swallowing difficulties are very closely related

Very interesting. I was unaware of the options outside of schooling. I don't think that I could do anything involved with hospitals, however the clinic option could be just far enough away from being a hospital that it might work. Thank Domi!

I'm in the same boat. WHAT TO DO WITH MAH LIFE?!?!? DDD:

But...I am sure we'll both find our niches someway or another.
You have always seemed interested in architecture. So why not give that one a shot?
Speech pathology sounds really interesting to me. Like Domi said, it covers a lot of things--from little kids to the elderly. I had no idea a speech therapist helps with swallowing. (My grandma might need one.)

Yeah... I'm feeling guilty about a change though mainly because my parents have been so supportive of the acting thing. Le sigh...

I understand.
But I think you find something you'll be really happy about, they'll support that too.
And who knows--maybe you won't give up acting completely?

You are correct on both parts I'm sure. If i do decide to go to grad school and shift my focus onto a different choice I'm pretty sure that they'll give me their blessing. And i didn't plan on dropping the theatrical/artistic world completely just turn them truly into a hobby rather than a career/life focus.
